Quick Answer
rPET is recycled polyester resin recovered from post-consumer PET. rPET strapping uses up to 100% recycled resin, cutting virgin plastic by around 80% per batch while maintaining heavy-duty strength through verified feedstock, advanced purification and precision extrusion. It is 100% recyclable and supports recycled-content and PPWR compliance. Greenstrix manufactures rPET strapping for global buyers.
What is rPET?
rPET is recycled PET - polyester resin recovered from post-consumer PET such as bottles and packaging, cleaned and reprocessed into new material. Instead of making strapping from new fossil-derived plastic, rPET strapping converts waste that would otherwise be discarded into durable, high-tensile industrial strapping. Greenstrix rPET strapping uses up to 100% post-consumer recycled resin, reducing virgin plastic throughput by approximately 80% per batch.
How rPET strapping is made
The process has four controlled stages. Post-consumer collection sources high-grade PET bottle flakes from verified recyclers for material purity. Advanced purification washes and processes the flakes to remove contaminants and restore resin quality. Technical extrusion engineers the resin to achieve high tensile strength and consistent elongation. Sustainable delivery supplies 100% recyclable strapping to buyers, completing the circular loop. This control is why rPET strapping performs to heavy-duty standards, not as a compromise.
Strength without compromise
A common concern is whether recycled material is weaker - with properly produced rPET strapping, it is not. Through verified feedstock, purification and precision extrusion, rPET strapping achieves the tensile strength and elongation needed for heavy-duty securing, so buyers cut virgin plastic and embodied carbon while keeping load safety.
Compliance and impact
rPET supports recycled-content requirements (relevant under the EU PPWR), is 100% recyclable, REACH and RoHS compliant, and reduces energy use by up to 60% versus virgin production. Greenstrix supplies rPET strapping with documentation, helping buyers evidence recycled content and recyclability for their reporting. Learn more on our Sustainability page.
