Poly-Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) is one of the most widely used plastics today. PET bottles are ubiquitous in our day-to-day lives–one has to just look around to spot a PET bottle containing mineral water or soft drink or used for other applications. PET bottles, post use, still carry a lot of value, and recycled PET (R-PET) can be used in a wide variety of applications. This makes post-consumer PET bottles a very sought after item by waste collectors. Discarded PET bottles fetch waste collectors INR 14-15/kg. These bottles are bought by kabadiwallahs or waste traders, who employ people to segregate, sort and further sell it to large vendors or recyclers. The caps, neck rings, labels (non-PET components) are removed, and the bottles are shredded, washed, and sold as what is called ‘washed flakes’. These washed flakes are then used to make (predominantly) polyester fiber, which is used as filling material for cushions, pillows, and converted to fabrics for use in clothing, upholstery, etc. These end products sell at anywhere between INR 50-60/kg; the market for R-PET products is quite large. There are large manufacturers across India who uses R-PET as raw material. The PET recycling business can be estimated (roughly) to be around INR 10,000 crore in a given year in Indian Continent.
PET Recycling
Discarded PET bottles are collected, sorted, cleaned, shredded, and made into ‘washed flakes,’ which are then used to produce a variety of products, starting from polyester fiber, which is used for a variety of applications like filling material for cushions, pillows, and converted to fabrics for use in clothing, upholstery, etc. Recycled PET (a small percentage) is also used for the manufacture of PET straps, monoYarn, sheets etc.
Value Chain of PET Recycling
There are a large number of companies involved in the PET recycling business, starting from the waste collectors and kabadiwallahs to the small and medium traders, recyclers, and manufacturers who use recycled PET for various products. The chart above provides a simplistic illustration of the participants in the PET recycling business in Indian Continent.
It is intended to prepare a Feasibility Report to install a Recycled PET Flakes production facility with a capacity of 1200 MT per year as a Green Field Project.
