Charpak's Current Supply of Plastics
05-03-2018
The products Charpak supply are produced from;
Clear rPETClear rPET plastic
Contains a minimum of 50% PCW (post consumer waste) and up to 25% in-process waste
Charpak reprocesses it's scrap back into material we purchase from our supply chain
Clear rPET is widely recycled
Black rPET
Contains 50% PCW and up to 25% in-process waste
Charpak has a closed-loop system to ensure our waste goes back into our products
Black rPET, whilst recyclable, is not widely recycled due to UK infrastructure issues, widely reported in the media
As an industry (alongside retailers) we are actively devising a solution to this issue
Coloured PET (excluding black)
Widely recycled and will nearly always be the basis of the PCW in black rPET
CPET
The industry is actively working to ensure that more CPET is recycled back into our products
PP
Our product contains around 10% in-process recyclate
PP is recyclable, however, the UK does not currently have a way of recycling PP into formings for food contact - the common reuse is commercial and industrial
