RECYCLED PET

What’s RPET?

R=Recycled

P=Poly

E=Ethylene

T=Terephthalate

Recycled polyethylene terephthalate is known as RPET, a material often used as a replacement for virgin PET, is a revolutionary material that is currently changing people's lives. RPET is an innovative material derived from recycled polyester, typically from recycled discarded plastic bottles. RPET is the most widely used recycled plastic all over the world.

Why do we promote RPET ?

Environmental protection: One of the most obvious reasons why we recommend RPET is to protect the environment we rely on for survival. We all know that using RPET can reduce reliance on virgin polyester, thereby reducing plastic pollution, and turning waste into treasure.

Saving resources: In addition to protecting the environment, RPET also plays a crucial role in resource conservation. Compared with the production of virgin polyester, RPET reduces energy consumption and raw material usage. By recycling discarded plastic bottles, RPET uses resources efficiently and reduces pressure on natural ecosystems.

Reducing waste: Utilizing RPET, also provides a sustainable solution for waste management. Plastic bottles that are usually discarded and fill up landfills are now diverted from landfills, thus reducing waste, while also reducing the cost of waste disposal and reducing environmental pollution.

Enhancing Everyday Life with RPET

Fashion and Textiles: RPET is widely used in the fashion and textile industries, mainly in the manufacture of eco-friendly clothing, bags and accessories. RPET materials can transfer colorful printed patterns to fabrics through the sublimation technique. Not only does the printing cost be low, but the printed patterns are colorful to meet the needs of different consumers. Many famous brands, such as Nike, Adidas, H&M, Zara, etc., use RPET materials to a certain extent when producing clothing, bags and other products. By applying RPET materials to clothing and bag production, fashion brands can provide consumers with more fashionable and sustainable choices.

Packaging solutions: RPET is widely used in packaging materials such as bottles and containers, etc. Currently, many big brands, such as Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Fanta, use RPET materials on packaging such as Coke bottles. Its durability, versatility and recyclability make it ideal for sustainable packaging solutions.

Home Decoration: RPET is also increasingly used in home furnishing products such as carpets, rugs and upholstery. By choosing to use RPET for interior decoration, consumers not only support the circular economy, but also create an environmentally friendly home.

How do we use RPET for our bags?

In Chiterion, we have used RPET materials for packaging since 2011. Originally, we purchased material from Taiwan. With its popularity, many Chinese factories started to produce RPET, so our current source of supply is China-based. We collected lots of fabric and then made them into bags. Therefore, all RPET material can be traceable and duly GRS certified.

For example,cosmetic bags, shopping bags, cooler bags etc.

In short, RPET is widely used in all aspects of life. It represents a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution, reduces resource waste, and reduces waste. As part of the planet, each of us has a responsibility to contribute to a greener future, paving the way for a sustainable society for future generations and creating a greener world.
