rePETec:
Fully recyclable
and circular

While food packaging for dairy products is often made of PP (polypropylene) or PS (polystyrene), and for both there is no approved recycling material from the mechanical recycling process for food contact available, INTOPACK and ALPLA have the solution, based on the all-rounder PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

‍

For the first time, we have succeeded in producing thin-walled PET plastic IML packaging with recycled material. rePETec stands for the interplay of innovative technology, mould, process and material handling.

"PET material can be directly reused for food packaging via mechanical recycling, making IML food packaging from PET not only 100% recyclable but also 100% circular. The latter is currently difficult to realize for PP food packaging within the current European food safety legislation."— Ron Vogels, Manager Technology & Development at INTOPACK
