AOKI Series machines use the flake material from reground and washed PET bottles to directly injection stretch-blow mold new containers.
The mainstream approach to recycling PET used to require pellet material, but with the AOKI Series machines, costs associated with pelletizing the recyclate (transportation, energy, payroll etc.) are now a thing of the past.
Only AOKI Series machines are required to mold 100% recycled PET flakes.
PET resin requires drying. 100% recycled PET flakes also required drying.
All recycled washed PET flakes can be used.
