Post-Consumer RPET – Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate

Post-consumer RPET is recycled polyethylene terephthalate made from PET materials that have already been used, recovered, and processed back into usable raw material. Through the polyethylene terephthalate recycling process, those materials are cleaned, sorted, and reprocessed for new applications such as sheet extrusion, thermoformed packaging, and fabricated display components. For manufacturers, that means access to a material that supports recycled-content goals while still meeting the needs of day-to-day production.

At Advanced Extrusion, post-consumer RPET is manufactured into high-quality sheet and roll stock for customers who need dependable material for packaging and fabrication. Whether you are producing thermoformed trays, retail displays, inserts, or rigid packaging components, RPET gives you a recycled material option that fits commercial production requirements.

Advanced Extrusion produces post-consumer RPET sheets for a wide range of packaging and industrial applications. Our material is suited for rigid packaging, laminating, thermoforming, and display fabrication, with options that support both standard and custom requirements. Available features include food-grade material, flexible and thin-gauge configurations, high-impact performance, and high-temperature capabilities for applications that need more than basic sheet stock.

We offer RPET in sheet and roll stock formats, with gauges from 0.008″ to 0.080″ and widths from 10″ to 54″. Core sizes are available in 3″ and 6″, with roll outside diameters from 16″ to 40″. This range gives customers the flexibility to source material for a variety of production lines, package formats, and fabrication needs without compromising on consistency.

Your material needs are rarely one-size-fits-all, which is why Advanced Extrusion offers multiple finish, coating, and appearance options for post-consumer RPET sheets. Available finish and visual options include matte finish, transparent, translucent, and opaque constructions, along with sheet finish selections that align with the look and function of your end product.

For applications that call for added performance, coating and additive options include silicone, anti-static, and anti-fog. RPET sheet is also available in natural, black, and white, along with custom graphic arts options for branded packaging, retail display, and specialty applications. If your application has specific handling, appearance, or performance requirements, our team can work with you on the right RPET configuration for the job.

Polyethylene terephthalate recycling plays an important role in keeping PET materials in use and moving them back into commercial applications. The polyethylene terephthalate recycling process turns recovered PET into reusable feedstock that can be manufactured into new sheet products for packaging, displays, and fabricated components. For manufacturers, the value is straightforward: recycled content can move back into the supply chain in a form that is usable, consistent, and ready for production.

That is where Advanced Extrusion fits in. We take the value created through polyethylene terephthalate recycling and turn it into RPET sheet products built for practical use in manufacturing environments. Our post-consumer RPET is used in food, home improvement, automotive, industrial, medical, construction, aerospace, and transportation applications where material consistency matters just as much as recycled content.

Advanced Extrusion manufactures post-consumer RPET with close attention to gauge control and material performance. Key physical properties include a specific gravity of 1.335, shrinkage of 2.0% to 5.0%, tensile strength at yield of 7,000 to 8,500 PSI, flexural modulus of 325,000 to 370,000 PSI, and an intrinsic viscosity of 0.62. The material is rated for a temperature range of 15°F to 140°F and is produced with a gauge tolerance of ±5%.

Our RPET sheet is also supported by standards and certifications that matter in regulated and quality-focused applications, including FDA, ISO, ASTM, ANSI, ASME, GMP, AIB, Kosher Certified, and Mil-Spec references.

If you need a post-consumer RPET sheet for thermoforming, packaging, laminating, or fabrication, Advanced Extrusion can help you source the right material for the application. Whether you need a specific gauge, roll format, color, finish, or performance feature, we can help match your requirements with a practical RPET solution.
