PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate, a thermoplastic polymer, and r22 is made of 100% recycled PET. PET is the world’s most common polymer, accounting for about 18% of global plastics produced.
Properties include being lightweight, rigid and a good barrier to water and other solvents – as well as the option to have a clear finish, and to recycle post-consumer.
About 60% of PET is processed as a filament for the production of textiles – and is commonly known as polyester. Another 30% is used for making drinks bottles; PET being by far the most commonly used plastic for disposable water bottles.
