What percent of the demand for raw PET bottles in the PET plastic recycling process?

PET bottles are divided into natural color bottles, green bottles, blue bottles and other colors. The percentage of demand for PET bottles depends on the specific use. Generally, the higher the PET content, the better the price. Therefore, plastic recycling and packaging stations need to screen the color and material separately. Domestic sorting machines are cheap. The efficiency of sorting PET bottles by sorting machines is about 85-95%. If the sorting effect is controlled better by manual sorting, it is only used for small-volume equipment due to high labor costs.

The recycled raw materials of PET bottles are usually graded according to factors such as color, cleanliness and impurity content at the packaging station. At present, they are mainly divided into the following grades:

1.3A grade bottle flakes: This grade requires the bottle flakes to have uniform color (usually pure white), consistent material, and extremely low impurity content. Aging bottles and yellowed bottle flakes are almost non-existent. This high-quality bottle flake is mainly used for export, and the price is relatively high (usually bottle to bottle or high-demand textile products).

2. Blue and white bottle flakes: Made from a mixture of blue and white bottles, with relatively low impurity content, suitable for general recycling applications (long fibers or short fibers).

3. Green bottle flakes: Mainly made from green bottles, suitable for recycled products with low color requirements, generally used as strapping.

4. Mixed color bottle flakes: Made from bottles of various colors, with relatively high impurity content and relatively low price, suitable for recycled products with low color and quality requirements. (such as short fibers or other dark products).
