Frapak Packaging, the hybrid packaging specialist with a vast history in both manufacturing and distribution of packaging is developing new products made of rPET and PEF.
Plastic is ubiquitous in today's society. A great amount of plastic is specifically flowing into the packaging industry. However, economical and technical limitations cause most plastic packaging to have a linear and unsustainable life, often characterized by a very short use phase.
In September 2014 a new factory was opened by Frapak and FlexPET with a production system which enables different materials to be automatically fed into its machines(in order to determine 50% or 100% of rPET).
Frapak latest development is bio-based PET or rather PEF (polyethylene furanoate). This bio-based material is not yet available industrially although several pilot plants are currently producing small lots to assess its process-ability and characteristics, to create more sustainable plastics.
In 2022, Frapack's complete PET assortiment is available in 100% rPET.
