Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic, best known for water and soft drinks bottles. Glass bottles can be reused through washing and refilling, but this process consumes significant energy and water. Today, PET is recognized as a recyclable material that can be ground, melted, and reformed into new products, making it a key player in the circular economy.
Recycling PET is an easier and cheaper process than recycling other plastics. This makes PET an ideal plastic for use in a circular economy. However, PET cannot be used for hot products which means that other plastics, or PET with additives need to be used – until now. Thermapet can resist temperatures up to 220°C – offering industries a sustainable, additive-free solution for high-performance packaging.
At Thermapet, our mission is to revolutionize sustainable packaging by developing innovative PET plastic solutions that significantly reduce environmental impact. By capturing 0.8% of the global microwavable packaging market within five years, we aim to eliminate over 1.74 billion microwave trays from the environment, saving more than 1.04 billion kilograms of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from production, and diverting over 307.53 million kilograms of CO2 from incineration. With 100 production lines globally, we are committed to increasing PET recycling rates by 51.26 million kilograms annually while reducing landfill waste by 2.14 million cubic meters each year. Together, we are paving the way for a greener, cleaner future
Prevented from entering the environment
Saved from production emissions
Diverted from incineration
Increased recycling annually
Landfill waste reduced each year
The United Nations Sustainability Goals #12 calls for ‘Responsible Consumption and Production’. Putting plastics into landfill is clearly not a responsible solution. Using PET that can be recycled helps move towards this goal. By recycling PET, we can keep plastics out of landfills and incinerators helping to create a circular economy.
Recycled PET, known as rPET also helps reduce greenhouse emissions i.e. CO2 This helps support Sustainable Goal #13 ‘Climate Action’ when considering the advantages of helping reduce climate change and landfill, together with reduced costs, rPET is a win-win solution.
By recycling PET, we can keep plastics out of landfills and incinerators, helping to create a circular economy.
