rPET

IFAP uses post consumer materials for the production of plastic packaging, especially chemical and mechanical PET for recycling. The percentages of use of post consumer PET may vary between 20% and 100% rPET. In 2017 recovered PET was used for 20% of production. Further investments are underway to increase the share of recovered plastic.

BIO-PET

Another step by IFAP towards renewable sources and sustainability is the use of BIO–PET. BIO–PETcontains 30% of raw material within its structure deriving from renewable sources such as cane and sugar beet plant, instead of using products deriving from petroleum.

BIO-PET + rPET

IFAP’s portfolio also includes 100% recyclable items (ECO) produced with rPET from post consumer and BIO–PET from renewable sources.
