PET Plastics

Technical sourcing and processing

Origin: Algeria.

Arzak Alae provides high-quality cold-washed PET flakes, derived from carefully sorted post-consumer and post-industrial bottle scrap. By utilizing advanced mechanical recycling processes, we ensure a consistent material that meets a purity range of 95% to 99%. These flakes are processed through rigorous shredding and friction-based cold-washing cycles to minimize the presence of non-PET polymers, adhesives, and organic residues, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative to virgin resins for non-food grade industrial sectors.

Our sourcing strategy focuses on regions with robust collection infrastructures, allowing for a steady supply of clear and light-blue feedstock. The cold-washing process is specifically chosen for its balance between cleanliness and energy efficiency, allowing manufacturers to reduce their carbon footprint without the premium cost associated with hot-washed or food-grade pellets. This makes the material ideal for high-volume manufacturing where mechanical properties and sustainability are both key priorities.

Navigating the international scrap trade requires deep expertise in fluctuating regulations and quality control. Arzak Alae acts as a strategic partner, managing the complexities of transboundary movement and pre-shipment inspections. We provide end-to-end logistics solutions, from secure jumbo-bag containerization to streamlined customs clearance. Our vetting of processing facilities ensures that every shipment meets strict moisture and PVC content thresholds, minimizing processing interruptions and maximizing yield in your extrusion or spinning lines.
