In the global shift toward sustainable development, virgin PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) has become a benchmark for innovation and responsibility in the packaging industry, thanks to its strong environmental foundation and unparalleled physical properties. Whether for beverages, food, daily chemicals, or pharmaceuticals, PET provides safe, aesthetically pleasing, and eco-friendly one-stop packaging solutions.
Outstanding Sustainability: An Eco-Foundation with High Recyclability
We understand that environmental impact is a key factor in your packaging material selection. Virgin PET serves as an ideal foundation for efficient recycling systems due to its pure and uniform composition.
High Recycling Rate & Circular Potential: In China, PET beverage bottles achieve an impressive recycling rate of 96%–97%, establishing one of the world's most efficient circular systems, thanks to the material's purity and easy identification. Through advanced recycling technologies like chemical and enzymatic recycling, PET's conversion rate can be increased to over 95%, capable of processing a wider range of waste materials.
Low Carbon Footprint: Compared to traditional materials like glass and aluminum, virgin PET has a lower carbon footprint during production. Its lightweight nature further reduces energy consumption throughout the transportation lifecycle. Using recycled PET (rPET) can reduce energy consumption by approximately 60% and cut carbon dioxide emissions by about 1.5 tons per ton compared to virgin PET.
Policy & Market Trends: Globally, regulations like the EU's mandate requiring 30% recycled content in PET bottles by 2030 are shaping the industry. Over 60% of consumers express support for using rPET in food packaging, indicating significant potential for the food-grade rPET market.
Our Commitment: We supply high-quality, food-grade virgin PET materials, ensuring the purity, safety, and recyclability of your packaging from the source, helping you capitalize on green consumption trends.
Unmatched Physical Performance: Where Data Speaks Louder
The exceptional properties of PET, backed by rigorous testing, ensure your product is showcased perfectly and transported safely.
| Performance Metric |
PET Performance |
Comparison vs. Common Materials |
| Light Transmittance |
90% |
Offers crystal-clear, glass-like clarity to perfectly display products. |
| Oxygen Barrier Property |
As low as 3 cm³/(m²·day·atm) |
Through material modification, its barrier performance can be improved severalfold, even approaching the level of PEN (PEN's O₂ barrier is 4x higher than PET's). |
| Tensile Strength |
Up to 9x stronger than HDPE film |
High strength provides robust protection. |
| Impact Resistance |
3–5x that of ordinary films |
Significantly lower breakage rate during transit compared to glass packaging. |
| Heat Resistance |
Standard PET: 60-70°C; Crystalline PET (CPET): up to 140°C |
Increased crystallinity allows CPET to be used in high-temperature applications like microwaveable tableware. |
| Chemical Resistance |
Resistant to weak acids, weak alkalis, oils, fats, and most solvents. |
Suitable for food and daily chemical product packaging. |
Heat Resistance Enhancement Technology: The heat resistance of standard PET is one of its limitations. However, Crystalline PET (CPET), obtained through crystallization treatment, can withstand temperatures as high as 140°C, is non-toxic and odorless, making it ideal for producing eco-friendly microwaveable containers and cups.
High-Performance Alternative Materials: In areas where PET's performance falls short, high-performance polyesters like PEN (Polyethylene Naphthalate) can be considered. PEN's barrier properties against oxygen and carbon dioxide are 4 and 5 times higher than PET's, respectively, and it also offers higher heat resistance (glass transition temperature ~121°C).
Safety & Preservation: Guaranteed Quality You Can Trust
Safety is non-negotiable in packaging. Virgin PET complies with major global food safety standards, including FDA and EFSA, and is inherently non-toxic and odorless, making it an ideal choice for food and pharmaceutical packaging. Its excellent barrier properties (Water Vapor Transmission Rate of 1–2 g/m²·day) effectively preserve product flavor and quality, extending the shelf life of food products by over 30%.
Broad Applications & Growing Market Potential
Virgin PET is a dominant force in the global packaging market, a testament to its proven reliability:
Substantial Market Size & Growth: The global PET market size reached USD 48.43 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to approximately USD 100 billion by 2032, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.5% during this period. The Asia-Pacific region is the largest consumer market, accounting for over 41% of global consumption.
Market Leadership: Accounts for over 70% of beverage packaging and 65% of edible oil packaging. Its penetration rate in the daily chemical product packaging sector has also reached 40%.
Versatile Applications: From water bottles and edible oil containers to daily chemical product bottles and pharmaceutical blisters, virgin PET is used across virtually all applications requiring high strength and clarity. Furthermore, PET foam core materials are widely used in high-end fields like wind turbine blades, rail transportation, and aerospace, validating their exceptional mechanical properties and resistance to high and low temperatures (-70~120°C).
Cutting-Edge Applications & Innovation
The application fields of PET materials are continuously expanding and innovating:
High-Performance Eco-Friendly Tableware: Meal boxes made from CPET material can withstand high temperatures up to 140°C, making them safe and durable for microwave and electric lunch box heating.
Industrial & Composite Materials: PET foam core materials serve as sandwich materials, providing excellent mechanical strength and fatigue resistance in wind turbine blades, ships, and rail transportation.
Fiber & Textiles: PET is the raw material for polyester fiber, with massive demand in the textile industry. 70% of global PET production capacity is located in China, where fiber-grade PET consumption exceeds 40 million tons.
Emerging Fields: The application of BOPET film in areas like photovoltaic backsheets and electronic products is rapidly expanding.
