PET Bottle Scrap for Plastic Recycling

PET Bottle Scrap is a recyclable plastic material recovered from used beverage bottles, water bottles and other containers made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This material serves as a resource for plastic recycling companies, material recovery facilities, and manufacturers that process recovered plastics.

Sources and Types of PET Bottles

These bottles come from post-consumer collection, commercial waste and industrial recycling streams. Depending on availability, our material may include:

• Clear and transparent PET bottles
• Blue and green beverage bottles
• Mixed-color plastic bottles
• Compressed or baled bottles
• Sorted bottles prepared for further processing

Some loads may contain caps, labels, or other attached materials. Therefore, buyers should confirm the sorting level before placing an order.

Sorting and Processing for Recycling

We sort suitable bottles according to their color and material condition. Where washing and flake production are included in our processing, the bottles can be cleaned and converted into PET flakes. However, the final output depends on the incoming material and the equipment used.

Clear bottles may suit processors that require separately sorted transparent material. Meanwhile, blue, green, and mixed-color bottles may meet the needs of facilities that accept colored plastics under their own specifications.

Explore our Plastic Scrap category to discover other recyclable plastic materials. You can also browse our Non-Metallic Scrap range for additional material options.

Material Inspection and Quality Checks

Before a sale, we review important details to help buyers assess whether the material meets their requirements:

• Color: Clear, blue, green, or mixed
• Preparation: Loose, compressed, or baled
• Condition: Used bottles with varying levels of residue
• Contamination: Caps, labels, dirt, moisture, and non-PET plastics
• Quantity: Available stock and required order volume
• Shipping: Packaging, loading, and delivery arrangements

In addition, buyers should confirm whether they require bottles with caps and labels attached or material that has undergone further sorting. Clear specifications help both parties agree on the product before shipment.
