A discarded plastic bottle can be used to do? The answer could be more than elections, clothing, motorcycle helmets, fishing line, packing rope … … or simply be used in food packaging materials, the realization of an unlimited number of recycling use. These are not distant high-tech vision, nor is it thriving developed patented technology, but within reach of domestic environmental protection technology. Recently, this reporter at Beijing’s earnings record interview Renewable Resources Co., Ltd understands that recycled plastic (PET) bottles recently is expected to enter the Chinese market.

    Although domestic “testing the waters” is still first, but it is already in the international arena is not a precedent. Since the original plastic packaging raw materials from oil, in order to save resources, many developed countries have developed a plastic packaging recycling technologies, as early as 1991, has recycled PET chips used in food packaging.

    PET material to make a good barrier for a variety of carbonated drinks, fruit juice, milk and dairy products, tea drinks, mineral water and other major food and beverage packaging materials. In my country, all the PET bottles are all from the oil extracted from the native raw materials made of PET a year up to 300 million tonnes of PET bottle production consumes more than 18 million tons of oil, but also caused enormous environmental pressures.

    In Beijing within the waste PET bottles produced every year the total up to 15 million tons, about 6 billion of waste plastic bottles. And distributed in the streets, the unit around the community “recovery force,” After extensive “recycling market transaction chain” has brought the city, noise, water pollution and waste of resources, and its produce both low-value-added products can not be recycled but also cause great harm to the environment.

    With the manufacture of recycled PET slice technology development, renewable PET slice of the health indicators have reached the state of native PET slice food hygiene standards, renewable raw materials of PET will be used for food packaging. Recycled food-grade PET chips can be directly used in food packaging, so as to achieve 100% of the infinite loop re-use, significant savings in oil consumption.

   At the same time, recycling industry has also become an emerging industry. As a country, Asia’s first recycled food-grade PET chip production enterprises, Renewable Resources Co., Ltd achieved record earnings of PET from virgin materials, products made of PET bottles to the recycling of waste PET bottles made from recycled bottle PET bottle chips and used the closed-loop product feedback recycling, re-use of models and up to the national standards, its food-grade recycled PET chips are standard, can be used to produce food packaging, which opened up a China PET bottle recycling, homogenization conversion precedent.

   If the recycled PET chips used in food packaging, the most talked about must be food security. Earnings record, according to the relevant person in charge of the company, recycled food-grade PET chips production of six parts need to go through 17 steps to ensure their safety. First, the recycling of waste PET bottles, after sorting through the professional, to raw materials, the materials, the quality of uniformity; Secondly, the waste PET bottles go through four high-temperature deep-cleaning, automatic removal of caps, labels, adhesives, residual liquid and other visible contaminants. Once again, after a 12-screw high-temperature melt extrusion, and effective removal of impurities; and finally, after 12 hours of high temperature above 200 ℃ to remove all the micro-and small molecule impurities, using solid-phase polycondensation and final crystal form of renewable food grade PET chips.
