PET flakes with cap and label represent an early-stage recycled material created from PET bottles that still contain their caps, rings, and labels. These bottles are collected, sorted, and mechanically shredded before entering the cleaning process. Because caps are usually made of PP or HDPE and labels often consist of PVC, paper, or PETG, they require proper separation to ensure the resulting PET maintains high purity. Industries that manufacture polyester fibers, sheets, packaging materials, and non-food contact products often rely on such flakes as an economical raw material.
