What is RPETG Shrink Film?

RPETG (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a type of shrink film made primarily from recycled PET materials, such as post-consumer bottles and containers. The “G” (Glycol modification) is added to the polymer chain, giving the film its exceptional clarity, strength, and shrinkage properties—similar to virgin PETG—but with a crucial difference: it’s made from recycled content.

• This commitment to using recycled materials：makes RPETG a cornerstone of the circular economy, reducing plastic waste and conserving valuable resources.
• Key Benefits and Properties of RPETG Shrink Film

RPETG isn’t just a “green” option; it’s a high-performance packaging material in its own right.

Made from Recycled Content: Typically contains 30% to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, directly reducing reliance on virgin plastics.

Lotion & Cream Containers: Conforms perfectly to curved and pump-top bottles.

Cosmetic Kits: Bundles multiple items together with a clear, tamper-evident sleeve.

3. Household & Consumer Goods

Cleaning Product Bottles:The chemical resistance of RPETG makes it suitable for detergents and cleaners.

Aerosol Can Labeling: Offers a secure and vibrant label that shrinks tightly around metal cans.
