PET is specified by intrinsic viscosity, and an offer without an IV figure is not an offer anyone can act on. Bottle-grade resin sits around 0.76 to 0.84 dl/g, sheet and thermoforming grades lower, and industrial and strapping grades higher again. Moisture is the other constant: PET hydrolyses in the melt if it is not properly dried, which is why storage and packaging come up on every enquiry.
Recovered PET trades in three quite different forms, and the price gaps between them are wide. Bales are unwashed and sold on the bale specification, which is a statement about sorting rather than about polymer. Hot-washed flake is sold on colour — clear, light blue and mixed are separate markets — and on contamination measured in parts per million, where PVC and glue are the ones that matter, because PVC degrades PET at melt temperature and shows up as yellowing. Pellet is a further step and a further margin.
Anything destined for food contact needs its recycling process to be approved, and that approval belongs to the process, not the polymer — ask for it by name.
Nothing is listed in this category at the moment. That changes daily — stock here is spot material, not a catalogue.
Post what you are looking for on the Wanted board and sellers come to you: grade, tonnage, where you want it delivered. It is free, and it is public, so a trader holding the material can find it without an account.
PET grades and pricing explained: intrinsic viscosity, bottle grade, flake and rPET — what the grades and the numbers mean, and what to check before you commit to a lot.
