rPET as a material

Frequently Asked Questions Our expert

rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate and is derived from already used PET packaging. By using rPET, the raw material cycle is closed and valuable material is put back into circulation.

The material impresses with high transparency, good dimensional stability, and excellent fracture resistance. At the same time, rPET is lightweight, recyclable, and suitable for many different applications—from food and beverages to cosmetics and household products.

With rPET you choose a sustainable packaging solution that conserves resources and reduces CO₂ emissions, without compromising on quality and functionality.

rPET - Questions & Answers

rPET stands for recycled polyethylene terephthalate. It is made from used PET packaging that is collected, cleaned, and reprocessed. This creates a new raw material that can be used in high-quality packaging.

rPET saves fossil raw materials and reduces CO₂ emissions. At the same time, it retains many of the positive properties of new PET, such as transparency, stability, and break resistance.


Yes, rPET can be food-safe—provided it complies with European and national regulations. Many of our rPET packaging products are approved for contact with food.


Which products is rPET suitable for? rPET is versatile: from food and beverages to cosmetics and personal care products to household and cleaning products.


Yes, rPET is fully recyclable and can be returned to the cycle – thus enabling a closed recycling loop.


Slight differences in color or transparency may occur, as this is a recycled material. These variations are normal and underline the sustainable nature of the product.


The barrier properties of rPET reliably protect the contents from external influences such as oxygen and moisture. This preserves product quality for longer, retains flavors and active ingredients, and significantly improves the shelf life of the filled products.
