The label of beverage bottles is "invisible", and the single packaging material is more conducive to recycling

How exactly is a plastic bottle recycled? In fact, many plastic packaging is a mixture of several plastics. Due to the uneven viscosity range and irregularities, it is difficult to recycle them. Taking PET bottles as an example, most beverage bottle trademarks are made of PVC. In the sorting process, the density of PVC and PET is the same, which greatly increases the difficulty of sorting and handling.

Therefore, in the plastic bottle recycling process, the first thing we need to do is plastic sorting. The discarded plastic bottles will be transported to the sorting station for sorting and packaging, pressed into bottle bricks and sent to the recycling plant. The sorting process can divide a beverage bottle into three parts. Among them, the bottle body part can realize the level conversion of "bottle to bottle". After recycling, it is still food grade and can also be used for beverages. However, bottle caps and labels are not acceptable and need to be removed before being processed in other ways. The last ones entering the recycling plant are mainly PET beverage bottles.

From this perspective, the "invisible" beverage bottle packaging labels will undoubtedly further realize the unity of packaging materials, avoiding the difficulty of recycling PET bottles due to the difference between the label material and the bottle material.

Suzhou Stplas Machinery Co., Ltd. have very mature technical for PET bottle recycling. PVC material still needs to be removed before crushing, otherwise it will increase a lot of costs, and you can buy another production line.
