PTI Recycling Systems To Sell/Service rPET System Globally

Published: July 13, 2009

HOLLAND, OH | PTI Recycling Systems, LLC has introduced globally a compact, modular system to produce food-grade, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) resin. The system has been designed to cost-effectively address increased international rPET demand for blow molding, injection molding, thermoforming applications, as well flex-pack applications by efficiently turning post-consumer PET containers into reusable food-grade resin.

PTI Recycling Systems, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plastic Technologies, Inc., has been formed to bring the LNO c rPET production process to the global marketplace. For the past two years, LNO c resin has been produced for commercial use in the US, by Plastic Technologies’ sister company Phoenix Technologies, Bowling Green, OH.

The new company will be headed by Steve Hawksworth, director, who will be responsible selling and servicing the “small footprint, low energy” system internationally. (The equipment requires less than 2,500 sq. ft. and can easily be taken apart and transported to a new location, if desired.)
