Foreign recycling of PET bottles

At present, filling PET bottles with PET bottles instead of glass bottles is a development trend, but the recycling of PET bottles is a problem. Beer manufacturers know that glass bottles can be recycled and used to reduce costs. The price of PET bottles is higher than that of glass bottles, and they cannot be washed at high temperatures just like glass bottles. So now all companies use PET bottles to fill beer and beverages. Most of them use disposable bottles. China's current consumption of PET beverage bottles is very high. The recycling of waste PET bottles can not only reduce environmental pollution but also turn waste into treasure. However, at present, only a small part of the country is used, and most of the rest are discarded, causing waste of resources and environmental pollution.

Overseas use recycled PET bottles for PET packaging. Australia uses recycled PET bottles as the middle layer material for three-layer bottles. Recycled PET is widely used to produce 3-17 dtex staple fibers for use as nonwoven fabrics. The United States also uses recycled PET to produce 6.6-9.9dtex hollow fiber as a filler material for cotton wool. Recycled PET can also be used for clothing fibers, such as US Dyersburg fabric factory to use 100% waste PET bottles recycled PET chip production suede cloth, the United States Wellman
Fiber Company develops outdoor fabrics, recycled PET fiber blended with other fibers, and the blending rate can reach 89%. The company also cooperates with other companies to produce polyester staple fiber for clothes from waste PET bottles. The American Patagonia company uses renewable PET fiber blended with other fibers to produce sportswear with a blending rate of 80%.
