Recycled Terephthalic Acid (rPTA PCR)
A critical intermediate petrochemical, it appears as a white, crystalline solid at room temperature.
Primarily used for the production of polyester fibers, polyester bottles, and plastic films.

The repolymerized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is then further processed into polyester fibers, which can be used-extensively in functional clothes, casual dresses, and car seat upholstery.
Used in the production of food-grade PET bottles and high-strength polyester films; used in beverage-containers, food packaging boxes, electrical insulation films, and optical films.
rPTA PCR can be transfermed into a new type of biodegradable polyester, which can replace petrochemical-based materials and be used in environmentally friendly shopping bags and disposable-table-ware.
