In recent years, the demand for recycled plastics has surged globally — particularly for products like GAP‑YE that focus on converting waste into value. Among their offerings, PET flakes with cap and label stand out as an eco-friendly solution bridging plastic waste recycling and practical reuse. Whether you are running a packaging business, textile manufacturing, or plastic-based product line, these flakes provide a recycled alternative with reliable quality and versatile usability.
PET — polyethylene terephthalate — is a widely used plastic for bottles and containers. After use, these bottles often carry their original caps and labels. At GAP-YE, discarded PET bottles (with caps and labels intact) are collected and processed to convert them into reusable flakes.
The process involves sorting, removing contaminants, shredding, washing (hot or cold), and cleaning thoroughly to yield clean, uniform PET flakes. The resulting flakes retain the same molecular makeup (PET polymer) as virgin material, ensuring physical properties remain largely comparable.
By collecting waste bottles with their caps and labels, the process simplifies initial waste sourcing and ensures a steadier raw material flow. This inclusive collection approach supports efficient sorting and processing while diverting more plastic waste from landfills and reducing environmental burden.
Using PET flakes produced from reclaimed bottles helps reduce reliance on virgin plastics, thereby conserving fossil-based raw materials and lowering energy consumption associated with plastic production.
Furthermore, recycled PET flakes often come at a lower cost compared to virgin PET resin — making them attractive for manufacturers aiming to cut raw material expenses while aligning with sustainable practices.
The flakes from GAP-YE are suitable for a wide variety of uses across multiple industries:
This wide applicability underscores how recycled PET flakes with cap and label — including those from bottles with cap and label — can meet diverse industrial needs while promoting circular economy goals.
