Green Pet Recycling Ltd.

In The State of Israel, all households throw away about two hundred and fifty thousand tons of plastic products each year. Most plastic waste is empty packaging of products. These plastic products take up thirty percent of the total volume of waste in Israel, and constitute about fifteen percent of the weight of waste in an average household.

Getting rid of plastic by burning is out of the question because it releases huge amounts of hazardous materials into the air. Therefore, the ultimate solution for getting rid of plastic will be to reduce the consumption of plastic to the minimum possible, while at the same time recycling existing plastic. That’s what plastic recycling companies are for.

What products does a plastic recycling company produce?

There is a variety of materials that can be produced from recycled plastic:

• LLDPE PRODUCTS – PRODUCTS MADE FROM THIS MATERIAL ARE MADE OF LINEAR POLYOLPHINE. RECYCLABLE PLASTIC ACTUALLY BECOMES LONG, THIN, DURABLE PLASTIC STRIPS. FROM THESE STRAPS YOU CAN PRODUCE A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCTS, FROM BAGS THAT WE ARE USED TO SEEING IN EVERY SUPERMARKET, TO THIN PLASTIC SHEETS TO TOYS.
• PET FLAKES – PRODUCTS MADE FROM THIS MATERIAL ARE MADE OF PLASTIC THAT HAVE BEEN SWEPT AWAY AND WASHED CHEMICALLY. AFTER CLEANING THE CHEMICALS, THE FLAKES MOVE TO THE PRODUCTION PLANT, WHERE PACKAGES FOR CAKES AND COOKIES CAN BE MADE FROM THEM, OR PACKAGES FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES (E.G. BOXES OF GRAPES OR CHERRY TOMATOES).
• RPET FLAKES – PRODUCTS MADE FROM THIS MATERIAL ARE MADE, SUCH AS PRODUCTS MADE FROM PET TEMPTRESSES, FROM PLASTIC THAT IS SUSED AND WASHED WITH CHEMICAL RINSING. HOWEVER, UNLIKE PRODUCTS MADE FROM TEMPTRESSES, THESE FLAKES CONTINUE TO BE ANOTHER PROCESS IN THE RECYCLING LINE.

IN THIS SPECIAL PROCESS, PET FLAKES UNDERGO AN EXACT PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROCEDURE TO CREATE A MATERIAL OF A DIFFERENT MOLECULAR WEIGHT THAN PRODUCTS MADE FROM PET TEMPTRESSES. AFTER THAT, THE MATERIAL UNDERGOES AN ADDITIONAL PROCESS IN ORDER TO CREATE A FINAL PRODUCT OF HIGHER QUALITY. THE MATERIAL IS USED TO MAKE NEW PLASTIC BOTTLES, THIS TIME RECYCLED PLASTIC.

• HDPE PRODUCTS – PRODUCTS MADE FROM THIS MATERIAL ARE ALSO MADE OF PLASTIC THAT IS APPOINTED FROM THE GARBAGE, UNDERGOES A PROCESS OF SHREDDING, WASHING AND PROCESSING, AND HARD PLASTIC PRODUCTS SUCH AS PACKAGING FOR DETERGENTS, BUCKETS AND MORE CAN BE MADE FROM THEM.

Green PET Recycling Company

Green Pat Recycling was established in 2019 by two of the largest beverage companies in Israel, and Zohar Levy. The company operates a recycling plant in the Galilee, thus contributing to employment in the periphery. Green Pat believes in a circular economy, and promotes it.

There are many products that can be made from recycled plastic, which probably if they hadn’t told you about it – you wouldn’t even suspect it was recycled plastic. Let’s keep going and recycled, and that’s how we’ll preserve the future of the Earth!
