Recyclers

PET flakes designed for recyclers

We support you to integrate a new PET stream into your existing line without additional investment. Start with samples, move to industrial trial, then scale to fixed volumes.

b:bot PET flakes

The real cost is inconsistent feedstock

Variable bale quality, colour mixing, contaminants reduce yield.

Quality

Best-in-class quality at machine output

PVC, polymers, metals at zero ppm

Machine output shows no detectable PVC, foreign polymers, or metals in routine batch testing.

Organics ~500 ppm unwashed material

Beverage residues and label adhesives comprise the organic load before washing.

After simple cold wash, organics drop to ~80 ppm

No chemicals or hot water required to reach food contact specification targets.

Routine targets for clear and coloured flakes

Clear flakes: PVC ≤10 ppm, metals ≤10 ppm, other polymers ≤50 ppm. Coloured flakes: PVC ≤50 ppm.

b:bot yield advantage

Pilot yield

8-tonne pilot campaign delivered 15% total yield loss including labels and fines.

Industry benchmark

Traditional deposit RVM streams lose ~30% yield; curbside and yellow bin streams lose ~40%.

Why the difference

Low speed grinding without repeated compaction produces fewer fines, less polymer degradation, and reduced melt filter wear.

Process advantage

Gentler handling throughout collection and processing preserves flake integrity and reduces downstream processing burden.

Compliance

Traceable, audit-ready feedstock

Every bag connects to collection data and processing records. Separately collected post consumer material supports food grade qualification pathways.

Traceability

Bag-level traceability to source

Each big bag carries full chain of custody data from collection point through processing and delivery.

Pathway

Start with a test, scale with volumes

Three clear steps from sample to full scale supply agreement.

1

Samples shipped

Request material to test on your line and confirm quality fit.

2

Industrial trial

Run a full truckload through your process with our technical support.

3

Fixed volumes

Lock in a steady supply agreement once qualification is complete.
