Suplas — China's first closed-loop PET tray recycling facility, has entered trial operations in Pinghu, Zhejiang Province. This marks the expansion of food-grade recycling technology from PET bottles into more application areas. Suplas processes 28,000 tons of PET trays annually, producing food-grade PET tray flake and achieving a "tray-to-tray" closed-loop recycling.

Billions of thermoformed PET food trays—the kind protecting your supermarket fruits, meats, and ready-meals—end their short lives in landfills or are devastatingly "downcycled" into low-value items. Why? Because they are a notorious recycling nightmare. While the global demand for high-quality rPET soars, driven by brand commitments and legislation, these trays remain a massive, untapped resource.

Zhejiang Boretech Environmental Technology Engineering Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Boretech") was established in 2005. In 2015, Boretech strengthened its engineering capabilities and technical expertise, achieving comprehensive integration of resources and technologies across the recycled polyester industry chain. Beyond PET bottle recycling and washing systems, the company provides a complete set of plastic recycling and washing solutions.

In response to the PET industry’s quest to increase recycled content by producing high-quality rPET flakes for high-end applications, BoReTech has leveraged its 30 years of experience in recycled polyester industry and developed a total solution for plastic recycling, endeavoring to be a global pioneer in plastic recycling ingenuity.
