PET Plastic Bottle Recycling Market Becomes Global Hot Spot

US company builds recycled PET production plant: During 2009, DAK Americas and Shaw Industries Group will jointly establish Clear Path Recycling, LLC, a recycled PET production plant using recycled plastic bottles. The facility will be located in the DAK Cedar Creek facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and will build a production facility that will produce recycled PET annually from approximately 127,000 tons (5 billion) used plastic bottles. The Cedar Creek plant has a PET resin production line and complete infrastructure. The new facility line will start in mid-2009 and is scheduled to be put into production in March 2010.

DAK is the largest polyester staple fiber plant in the United States and the second largest manufacturer of PET fibers. Shaw is the world's largest carpet manufacturer. In the future, three-quarters of recycled PET products will be used by DAK and Shaw, and the remaining quarter will be sold on the market. The two companies said they hope to use recycled PET to increase the value and sustainability of their products. When it is put into production, it can reduce the use of 1 million m2 of landfill land per year, and it can save 25 trillion BTU of heat equivalent to 18,000 households' annual consumption. There is also Germany's PET waste bottle recycling as a "Chinese sweater", which is also worthy of deep reflection. The German market has more than 8 million PET bottles flowing every year. Garbage collection companies collect these bottles, crush them or crush them into pieces, and sell them to China at a relatively high price. According to relevant sources, a bottle that can hold 16 liters of beverage can be made into a sweater. Recalling that before 1993, all plastic bottles were put into the trash and a small part was recycled. Since the implementation of the custody fee four years ago, supermarkets must recycle empty bottles. PET bottles embark on a journey of thousands of miles: After traveling to China and becoming a synthetic woolen sweater, they return to Germany and return to China. China's textile industry has huge plastic demand. Although merchants will add another yard to the price of German recycling companies, imports are cheaper than producing the raw materials themselves. The cost of shipping from Hamburg to Hong Kong is very low. The reason is that there are lots of empty seats on the ship after the freighter has shipped in and discharged from China. The cost of production in China is very low, because the labor force is cheap, and the environmental and social standards are not perfect. In Chinese factories, these PET raw materials are sorted by color and cut into pieces and melted. After processing, PET bottles are returned to Germany as textiles and sold in Germany. The value creation embodied here is immense: a synthetic tweed sweater costs between 50 and 100 euros, and the material used is only equivalent to 32 euro cents. Far East cannot see the end of the old plastic hunger. China has been unable to meet its own needs with raw materials. In this context, second-hand raw materials like PET are worth more. The fact that plastic empty bottles are shipped to China as raw materials indicates that there is in fact a world market for used raw materials. Ten years ago, rubbish was dumped on the garbage dump. “At that time we were a consumer and abandoning society.” The example of Chinese processing and re-selling in Germany illustrates the problem. “This market development shows to all consumers that some garbage has indeed been regenerated. Reuse."

Furthermore, as in the past two years, Intercontinental Recycling India has produced qualified recycled PET. According to reports, the Indian-owned Intercontinental Recycling facility in the Skelmersdale area of ​​northern England began trial operation in November 2007. According to plan, the device can recycle and convert 30,000 tons of waste plastic bottles each year. In addition, the device has some equipment for sorting, rinsing, and drying, and the product produced will be a hot bottle tablet for non-edible products. Consumers can use this material to package non-edible products or to separate two layers of edible material as a medium. Currently in the UK, the market price of recycled PET bottles for non-edible products is around £600/tonne (FD).

In addition, Japanese companies have successfully researched and developed recycled PET modifiers. A review of Japan’s full implementation of the container recycling method in April 2000 resulted in the recycling of PET bottles to 390,000 tons in 2006, which only reached 60% of the recovery rate. For the PET recycling technology problems. The company successfully developed and produced recycled PET modifiers "AR-P-1000" and "AR-P-1100" from the Japanese company Kasei Chemicals Co., Ltd. and introduced them to the market. The main features of AR-P recycling regeneration modifiers are: 1 It does not require drying during use. 2 is very stable at room temperature. 3 applies to all plastic molding processing equipment. 4 can be arbitrarily colored. 5 can be blended directly. 6Improved impact strength of PET recycled recycled materials. Since AR-P is dispersed in a finely divided state in the recycled PET molding material, the interfacial tension is small due to the shearing force of the molding processing. The viscosity ratio of AR-P and recycled PET molding materials is 1 and the dispersion is good. The impact strength of recycled PET molding materials is improved. For example, when 5% "AR-P" is added, the notched impact strength is increased from 2 KJ/mz to 5.5 KJ. /m2. At a temperature of 10°C, the low-temperature impact strength increases from 1.BkJ/mz to SkJlm2o7. The viscosity of the recycled PET molding material is improved, the flow properties of the PET melt molding material are improved, and the shape suitable for molding and processing is complicated, and the profiled material and the like are extruded and molded. .
