rPET Compatible Solutions
rPET Compatible Solutions
As brand owners raise recycled-PET (rPET) content targets, bottle and preform design must stay process-stable on existing blow molders. iBottling's rPET-compatible solutions adapt preform geometry, heating profiles, and stretch-blow parameters to run higher recycled-content resin.
rPET behaves differently from virgin PET — it has tighter processing windows and different haze and thermal behavior. We tune the line to your specified rPET ratio rather than assume virgin-equivalent performance.
What We Deliver
Heating-zone re-profiling for uniform preform temperature, revised stretch-blow recipes, and validation runs on your bottle format. Output is qualified against your rPET ratio and acceptance criteria.
We also advise on the trade-offs between rPET ratio, bottle clarity, and line speed so the specification is achievable on your equipment.
