Discarded PET bottles are collected and compacted into bales.
At the Bottle Box™ plant they are then sorted into different colors.
The bottles are ground-up into flakes and washed thoroughly to food grade standards.
The clean washed flake is now ready for the extrusion process.
Rolls of recycled 100% post consumer PET are extruded.
The 100% post consumer PET rolls are then thermo-formed into your innova-
