Recycling Guide - PET
We know polyethylene terephthalate, or PET for short, primarily as beverage packaging. It can be recycled multiple times without loss of quality. Because of its great popularity, PET recycling significantly reduces the burden on the environment.
In addition to the raw materials, around 50% of the energy can be saved through recycling.
By collecting PET bottles, around 140,000 tons of greenhouse gases are saved in Switzerland every year. Recycled PET is a high-quality raw material. In addition to bottles, we also produce fabrics for the furniture and clothing industries or trendy fashion accessories such as bags and shoes.

As a member of the VSPR (Association of Swiss Plastic Recyclers) we are committed to our charter. No member of the VSPR exports plastic waste for storage in landfills. However, there is no possibility of fine mechanical sorting in Switzerland. That's why, in certain cases, our partners use sorting capacities in countries close to the border in order to obtain the necessary sorting purity from the pre-sorted plastic for recycling so that it can then be regranulated in Switzerland.
