RPET Thermoforming
RPET (recycled PET) is a sustainable alternative to virgin PET for thermoforming processes because it utilizes recovered material and reincorporates it into new packaging and trays with a performance very similar to that of traditional PET.
Advantages of PET
At Converforma, RPET is one of our base raw materials for manufacturing thermoformed parts with good rigidity, clarity (depending on the gauge and application), and dimensional stability, while maintaining quality and functionality standards.
Circularity
Circularity by taking PET waste (post-consumer or post-industrial) and reintegrating it into new products, helping to divert plastic from landfills.
Sustainability
Complies with international regulations for food contact, making it a safe option for fresh food, pastries, confectionery, and ready-to-eat products
Performance
Maintains good rigidity and dimensional stability, safeguarding the products inside the packaging
Thermoformed packaging in RPET
By choosing RPET thermoforming, our customers drive the circular economy, reduce the consumption of virgin resin, and decrease the environmental footprint of packaging, without sacrificing protection, presentation, or production efficiency.
What is rPET?
Recycled PET, recovered from post-consumer or post-industrial waste and turned back into sheet to make new thermoformed packaging.
Is rPET as clear as PET?
It offers good rigidity and clarity, depending on gauge and application. When maximum clarity is required, we recommend virgin PET.
Why choose rPET?
Because it supports the circular economy: it reduces virgin resin use, diverts plastic from landfills and lowers the packaging's environmental footprint. Learn about our sustainability approach.
Can rPET be recycled again?
Yes. Since it is PET, it can go back into the recycling stream at the end of its life.
Quality and food-safety certificationsWe manufacture to international standards.
