Chemically recycled PET chips are polyester resins produced by breaking down waste PET into their original monomers and then repolymerizing them. This process restores the material to near-virgin quality, making it suitable for high-performance applications.
Unlike mechanical recycling, which physically processes plastic and often results in downgraded material, chemical recycling completely depolymerizes PET into its base molecules. This allows removal of all contaminants, colors, and additives, producing high-purity resin comparable to virgin PET.
We use:
- Post-consumer waste PET bottles
- Pre-consumer polyester textile waste
These are carefully sorted, washed, and processed to ensure a clean, reliable feedstock for chemical recycling.
Our chemically recycled PET chips are available in multiple IV grades, typically ranging from:
0.64 – 1.10, depending on application needs.
Higher IV grades are suitable for IDY (Industrial Drawn Yarn),
Our chips are engineered for diverse end uses, including:
- IDY (Industrial Drawn Yarn)
- Micro denier Yarn
- Textile Multi filament applications
- Specialised application like bulk continuous filament
- Flexible film packaging application
- For food grade / non-food grade bottle application
- For Recycled Polyester Staple Fiber application
- For Pet strap application
Yes. Due to the molecular-level purification in chemical recycling, the chips meet near-virgin quality standards and show consistent performance in demanding applications.
- Sustainability: Supports circular economy by upcycling waste
- Virgin-like properties: No compromise on quality
- Versatility: Can be tailored to suit different IV needs
- Low carbon footprint: Reduced GHG emissions and energy use compared to virgin resin
- Contaminant-free: No legacy impurities or colorants
- Filtration : Because PET is depolymerized to oligomers/monomers before re-polymerization, ultra-fine melt-filtration physically removes microscopic impurities—delivering chips as clean as virgin material.

T2T (Textile to Textile) rPET chips are recycled polyester raw materials made by chemically recycling pre-consumer textile waste. This includes waste yarns, fabric scraps, weaving waste, and garment manufacturing waste. Through chemical depolymerization, polyester is broken down into its original monomers, purified, and repolymerized into high-quality polyester chips. These chips are widely used for fiber spinning and PET strap manufacturing.
T2T chemical recycling uses pre-consumer polyester textile waste, such as:
- Waste yarn from spinning mills
- Fabric scraps and weaving waste from textile units
- Garment manufacturing offcuts
- Other polyester-rich industrial textile waste
Common applications include:
- Recycled Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF) – for nonwovens, filling material, and yarn spinning
- PET strapping – high-strength packaging straps for industrial use
T2T chips are typically black rPET chips due to the dyed and colored nature of the textile waste feedstock. They are ideal for applications where black or off-white fiber color is acceptable, such as PET straps, filling fibers, or nonwovens.
- Supports textile waste recycling – turning factory waste into usable raw material
- Excellent spinnability for staple fiber manufacturing
- Lower carbon footprint compared to virgin PET
- Controlled IV and low contamination for consistent performance
- Contaminant-free: No legacy impurities
- Filtration : Because PET is depolymerized to oligomers/monomers before re-polymerization, ultra-fine melt-filtration physically removes microscopic impurities—delivering chips as clean as virgin material.
- Requires pure polyester feedstock – not suitable for fabrics with high elastane or cotton blends
- Color may vary depending on textile waste
- Not suitable for clear or transparent PET applications
Yes. T2T rPET chips can be Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified when the recycling and manufacturing process is traceable and meets approved sustainability guidelines.
Yes. We can arrange sample quantities of our chemically recycled rPET chips for testing and evaluation purposes before you place a bulk order.
B2T (Bottle to Textile) rPET chips are polyester raw materials produced by chemically recycling post-consumer PET bottles. Using advanced depolymerization and purification, used plastic bottles are converted back into high-quality, virgin-equivalent polyester chips. These chips are widely used in textile manufacturing, PET yarn production, flexible packaging films, and PET bottles.
B2T rPET chips are versatile and can be used in:
- POY & FDY yarns – apparel, sportswear, and home textiles
- Industrial yarns (IDY) – seat belts, ropes, geotextiles, tire cord
- BCF yarns – carpets, rugs, and automotive interiors
- Flexible films – packaging and non-packaging
- PET bottles – food-grade and non-food-grade
Chemical recycling breaks PET down into its original monomers, removes impurities, and repolymerizes it into high-purity polyester chips. This ensures:
- Virgin-like quality – identical to virgin PET in performance
- Stable Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) for consistent processing
- Better spinnability and dyeability
- Contaminant-free: No legacy impurities or colorants
- Filtration : Because PET is depolymerized to oligomers/monomers before re-polymerization, ultra-fine melt-filtration physically removes microscopic impurities—delivering chips as clean as virgin material.
Yes. The high purity and controlled IV make B2T chips ideal for high-strength yarns used in ropes, seat belts, geotextiles, and other industrial applications.
Using B2T rPET helps:
- Divert PET waste from landfills and oceans
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to virgin PET production
- Reduce energy and raw material consumption
- Support the circular economy in textiles and packaging
Yes. B2T chips can be used in 100% form or blended with virgin PET depending on product performance and cost requirements.
Yes. We offer food-grade certified B2T rPET chips that comply with US FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration) regulations for food-contact applications. This certification ensures our material is safe for:
- Beverage and water bottles
- Food packaging films
- Other food-contact PET applications
We supply B2T rPET chips in multiple IV grades:
- 0.64 – 1.10 IV, depending on the specific end-use (yarns, bottles, films, or industrial applications).
Yes. We can arrange sample quantities of our chemically recycled rPET chips for testing and evaluation purposes before you place a bulk order.
