Truly circular food packaging

Help close the loop on plastic. Made with up to 100% recycled content and fully recyclable into new food grade products, APET provides tray-to-tray recycling without compromising on food safety or any other functional properties. This allows you to integrate true circularity into your packaging setup.

Tray-to-tray recycling is not some distant vision. We are doing it on an industrial scale at our site in Duiven, Netherlands. We recycle used food trays and use the flakes and pellets as input material for new food grade trays across all our production sites.
