A VALUE CHAIN FOR RECYCLED POST-CONSUMER WASTE
Gurit recycles post-consumer waste PET bottles and produces recycled PET flakes and granules later used for extrusion of recycled PET core. This allows us to secure quality and cost-effective raw material supplies for PET composite production, and link the value chain elements starting from the recycled bottle down to a finished quality core material, Kerdyn™.
In 2023, Gurit recycled
