In
February 2025, Boretech successfully shipped the main equipment for a complete
PET bottle-to-bottle recycling system to India. This marks Boretech’s first
full-scale PET bottle-to-bottle system sold to the Indian market. The project
comes at a pivotal moment as India has introduced the【Plastic Waste Management (Amendment) Rules,
2024】, which set
clear regulations on the recycled content and recycling rates for rigid plastic
packaging.
The
project officially commenced in February 2024 and is scheduled for
commissioning in June 2025. Once fully operational, the production line will
feature an annual processing capacity of 30,000 tons of rPET flakes and 16,000
tons of food-grade rPET pellets, enabling the customer to meet the 30% recycled
content requirement mandated for 2025-2026.
The
customer has opted for Boretech’s latest ES process washing technology, which
features a highly integrated design that reduces land footprint by 25% and
on-site labor requirements by 33%, significantly lower initial investment and
operational costs. The intensive washing technology ensures near-zero chemical
residue, while the enhanced hot-wash technology improves downstream filtration
efficiency by 25% and reduces per-ton energy consumption by 13.3%.
As
a leading provider of end-to-end PET recycling solutions, Boretech has
delivered a comprehensive system encompassing pre-treatment, twin-screw
extrusion, pelletizing, and Solid-State Polymerization (SSP). The SSP stage
incorporates continuous pre-crystallization, crystallization preheating,
solid-state polymerization, and final product cooling, ensuring that the rPET
meets food-grade standards and is FDA-certified. This high-quality rPET
solution is set to support the growing demand for sustainable packaging in
India.
