At JB rPET, we take great pride in our commitment to sustainable practices and our dedication to make a positive impact on the environment. As leaders in the manufacturing of Recycled Polyester Resins, rPET Flakes, Fiber and Sheets we strive to promote responsible recycling. As we take the lead in making a positive impact on the environment, we turn our attention to a crucial issue plaguing recycling processes – the challenges posed by green bottles.
While green bottles may seem harmless, they actually pose significant challenges in the recycling process. From the initial collection by rag pickers to the sorting process at Kabadiwalas, these challenges begin early. To ensure efficient processing, recyclers like JB rPET need separate streams for different coloured bottles. Failing to separate them at this stage makes it difficult to sort them during processing, leading to inefficiencies and operational difficulties.
The colour of green bottles also limits their usefulness. Currently, they are mainly used for producing black or green-tone fibre. Unfortunately, they cannot be repurposed into bottle-to-bottle grade chips, which restricts their versatility. This limitation results in the unnecessary production of black or green fibre and puts financial strain on those involved in recycling. Why create unnecessary hurdles and deterrents for those trying to do good?
By eliminating green bottles from the equation, we can establish a more streamlined and sustainable recycling process. Transparent bottles offer an adaptable solution as they can be easily transformed into bottle-to-bottle-grade chips. This not only reduces the need for production of superfluous black fibre but also opens up possibilities for textile-grade chips and white fibre production which can be dyed in various colours, including black, adding an extra level of flexibility to the process.
PET sheets used in various packaging materials can be produced from PET flakes of transparent bottles but not from flakes of Green Bottles.
Furthermore, when considering international practices, we question the relevance of green bottles. Yes, they may look appealing and easily recognizable on store shelves, but to whom does that truly benefit other than the brand? Does it alter the flavour in any way? No, it doesn't. Beverages like Sprite and 7 UP are sold abroad in transparent bottles without any coloured variations. So why burden the environment unnecessarily? It's not like brown-bottled medications which are UV sensitive where exposure to sunlight modifies their chemical composition. Embracing similar practices in India can significantly alleviate the strain on the recycling chain while promoting a more sustainable packaging landscape.
We make a strong case against green bottles based on principles of efficiency, versatility, and sustainability. By reducing reliance on green bottles, we can pave the way for a more efficient recycling chain, minimize unnecessary fibre production, and contribute to a greener and cleaner future. JB rPET remains fully committed to these ideals as we spearhead efforts towards a more environmentally responsible planet. Let's rally against the unnecessary obstacles posed by green bottles and join forces to create an environmentally conscious world.

Nirmal Vasundhara Pvt.Limited deals for our EPR credit obtained by recycling operations.
You can get in touch with them through the website mentioned below. https://www.nirmalvasundhara.com/
We have developed proprietary chemical recycling technology. This technology encompasses depolymerisation process by solvolysis. We have installed state-of-the-art machinery for the whole recycling process. For understanding more details about there process you can connect with us.
We are having a recycling impact of more than 5 million waste PET bottles everyday accounting to 2 billion bottles per annum.
It is the process of converting a polymer into a monomer or a mixture of monomers. This process breaks down the long polymer chains of plastics into their original chemical building blocks, such as monomers. These monomers are then processed to form purified monomer and then via a poly condensation processed they are polymerised to form polymer.
JB rPET is an emerging bottle waste recycling company. We are proud to contribute to a sustainable future through our cutting-edge manufacturing of Premium Quality Recycled Polyester Chips using our proprietary CHEMICAL DEPOLYMERISATION RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY. We are largest chemical recycling company in India.
Every day, we make a significant impact by recycling 5 million post-consumer waste PET bottles and diverting them from landfills and ocean beds. Our unique manufacturing process involves
- 1. Transforming this waste into valuable polyester granules
- 2. Utilising it in filament yarn
- 3. Bottle manufacturing
- 4. BoPET film manufacturing
- 5. PET sheet manufacturing, and more
At the heart of our operations is the advanced Technology, an exclusive chemical recycling process developed in-house after years of research and experience.
The resulting rPET chips mirror virgin-grade chips quality and technical parameters, showcasing our commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Our manufacturing capability is 24 KT (kilotons) per annum of premium grade rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) pellets. This ensures a consistent supply of high-quality recycled PET resins for various applications.
Our circular economy model ensures that every waste PET bottle and polyester yarn is upcycled and transformed into valuable PET products. By recycling more than 5 million waste PET bottles every day, accounting for 2 billion bottles per annum, we significantly reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste while conserving natural resources. These resins are used in various applications thereby making the final products environment friendly & sustainable.
We adhere to strict quality control measures throughout the manufacturing process to ensure that our Recycled PET Resins meet industry standards and specifications. We have stringent quality control norms for analysing waste bottles. Our finished products undergo rigorous testing for purity, consistency, and performance to guarantee their suitability for various applications. We have state of art laboratory with latest testing equipments.
Yes, our Recycled PET Resins offer a sustainable alternative to virgin PET, as they are produced from post-consumer waste PET materials. By using recycled PET resins, companies can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more circular economy while maintaining product quality and performance. Products made from chemical recycling process can replace virgin 100%. All technical & mechanical parameters are at par with virgin grade material.
Using Recycled PET Resins in textile manufacturing offers several benefits, including reduced environmental impact by diverting plastic waste from landfills, conservation of natural resources, and energy savings compared to producing virgin polyester. Additionally, recycled PET yarns can exhibit similar quality and performance characteristics as virgin polyester, making them a sustainable choice for textile applications. Various multinational brands now want to produce their products from sustainable sources. Therefore they need recycled polyester as their raw material.
Yes, we produce Bottle Grade Recycled PET Resins that meet stringent safety and regulatory standards for food and beverage packaging. Our resins undergo thorough testing to ensure they are free from contaminants and suitable for use in direct contact with food and beverages, making them an ideal choice for sustainable packaging solutions.
Mechanical recycling is physical recycling, it means recycling the way to extruding/melting and changing the form of the product. This process is suitable for certain applications but the quality of final product is much lower then virgin grade as there is no process of contamination removal and it is not possible to give IV consistency in this form of recycling.
In chemical recycling the process is such that all feedstock is depolymerised and thereby homogenised. They are brought down to zero level of IV. Then these building blocks are purified for removal for suspended impurities thereby making it purified monomer. This material is then converted into polymer. This polymer is highly pure material and can replace virgin grade material entirely.
USP’s of chemical recycling technology:
- 1. We do filtration @ 4 micron efficiency so the life of filter pack in your machine is not reduced due to contamination.
- 2. We do 100% depolymerisation to provide consistency in Quality.
- 3. We have continuous polymerisation process therefore there is no IV variation.
- 4. Our products are made from 100% post consumer waste, this can help your consumers to achieve their sustainability goals.
