Cold Washed PET Flakes for Sustainable Plastic Recycling
Cold washed PET flakes are a widely used recycled plastic material, valued for their balance between cost efficiency and practical performance. These flakes are produced from post-consumer PET bottles that are collected, sorted, shredded, and washed using cold water processes. This method helps remove surface-level contaminants such as dust, labels, and light residues while keeping processing costs lower compared to hot washing techniques.
Companies like GAP-YE focus on supplying cold washed PET flakes that meet consistent quality expectations for various industrial applications. The recycling process is carefully managed to ensure uniform flake size, controlled moisture levels, and minimal foreign materials. As a result, manufacturers can rely on these flakes for secondary production without compromising operational efficiency.
Cold washed PET flakes are commonly used in the manufacturing of strapping, sheets, thermoformed products, and non-food-grade packaging. They are also suitable for fiber production where ultra-high purity is not mandatory. Their affordability makes them an attractive option for businesses aiming to reduce raw material costs while maintaining acceptable product standards.
