Biobased PET (biobased polyethylene terephthalate) is an innovative alternative to traditional PET, incorporating a proportion of plant-based raw materials, such as ethanol derived from biomass, while retaining the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of fossil-based PET. This material stands out for its transparency, lightness and impact resistance, making it a preferred choice for many industrial applications.
Biobased PET is used in a variety of sectors, including packaging (bottles, trays), textiles (fibers for clothing and technical fabrics) and the automotive industry. It remains compatible with conventional PET recycling channels, offering a functional solution for manufacturers seeking to diversify their raw material sources.
