In many instances, these colored bottles may offer an outlet to utilize some of the less transparent rPET feedstock as the colorant can mask the original recyclate color.

It is a continuous molding process where fibers are saturated with a liquid polymer, then carefully pulled through a heated die to form the parts. To start, it’s best to know the kind of environment in which your product will be and what kind of properties you need (e.g., heat or water resistant, hard or soft, color).
