PET & rPET
Recycled. Reinforced. Ready for the Line.
PET is one of the most widely used plastics in packaging, from bottles and trays to lidding films. Its recycled version, rPET, is becoming a cornerstone of sustainable packaging. It reduces virgin plastic use, cuts carbon emissions, and enables true circularity.
Recycling comes with challenges. It is not easy to keep strength, clarity, and food safety intact after multiple processing cycles. Tosaf’s additives and masterbatch solutions are designed to make rPET perform like new, so you can use more recycled content without compromise.
Why Tosaf PET and rPET
Tosaf’s portfolio for PET and rPET is built to solve the real-world challenges of packaging producers. With tailor-made masterbatch solutions and a sustainable approach, we help you achieve:
Color and clarity
Rectify rPET yellowness and dullness, restore brightness and gloss, and use NIR-sortable black that supports recycling streams.
Shelf life and protection
Extend shelf life with UV stabilizers and oxygen scavengers, reduce acetaldehyde for clean taste, and use high-performance whites for ESL and UHT milk bottles that can either support co-injected and overmolded bottles or replace them with high opacity versions for monolayered bottles.
Processing efficiency
Increase IV and melt stability, save time and energy with chain extenders, speed up IR heating for faster forming, and improve downstream flow with slip, antiblock, de-nesting, and sleeving aids.
Design and labeling
Replace labels and sleeves with fast, high-resolution, transparent laser marking that keeps packaging fully recyclable.
Compliance and support
Work directly with Tosaf’s R&D and regulatory experts to ensure food-contact safety and alignment with regional standards worldwide.
Sustainability
From reducing waste to supporting global food-contact compliance, we help packaging producers align with both market needs and sustainability goals. Our PET and rPET portfolio helps you:
- Maximize recycled content without losing strength or clarity
- Minimize raw material use with downgauging and lightweighting solutions
- Equalize carbon impact by reducing energy demand in processing
- Circularize packaging design by enabling recyclable monolayer options and compatibilizing mixed PCR streams
FAQs
By correcting color, stabilizing IV, reducing acetaldehyde, improving barrier performance, and smoothing downstream handling, so recycled content can rise while appearance and properties stay on target.
Select solutions such as WhiteSeal™, O2Seal™, and UVSeal™ can support monolayer concepts where appropriate, while maintaining performance targets noted in each product’s highlights.
Yes. Tosaf’s regulatory and R&D experts work with you to align with regional standards and food-contact requirements.
