Recycled Pellets — rPET · rHDPE · rLDPE · rPP
Extruded and filtered recycled granules from certified Turkish compounders: rPET for bottle and fibre, rHDPE for blow and injection moulding, rLDPE film grade and rPP homo/copolymer.
Pellets are the drop-in route to recycled content: melt-filtered, degassed and lab-tested granules that run on standard equipment without a wash line. Our compounding partners work from documented post-consumer and post-industrial feedstock; every grade carries a datasheet with MFI or IV, density, ash and colour, and every consignment ships with a batch declaration stating recycled content and its pre-/post-consumer split. For UK packaging producers that declaration is the working evidence for the 30% Plastic Packaging Tax exemption.

Compliance & documentation
- Waste / product classification
- Product, not waste: pellets are a finished polymer raw material with agreed specification. Classified under HS 3907.61 (rPET), 3901 (PE) or 3902 (PP) with recycled-content statements on the commercial documents.
- Certification chain
- Compounding partners hold GRS, RecyClass or EuCertPlast certification with EN 15343 traceability from feedstock lot to pellet lot. Certificate numbers are quoted on every batch declaration and verifiable in public scheme databases.
- Documentation supplied
- Batch declaration — recycled content % and pre-/post-consumer split
- Grade datasheet: MFI/IV, density, ash, colour, filtration
- Producer certificate reference (GRS / RecyClass / EuCertPlast)
- Origin declaration under the UK–Türkiye FTA (0% tariff)

Applications & end markets
One pellet grade per process — tell us the machine and the end product and we match MFI, filtration and colour:
- rPET: sheet extrusion, strapping, fibre; food-grade after approved super-clean step
- rHDPE 0.3–0.7 MFI: blow-moulded bottles, jerry cans, drums
- rHDPE 4–8 MFI: injection moulding — crates, pallets, closures
- rLDPE film grade: refuse sacks, collation shrink, general film
- rPP homo/copo: injection parts, crates, automotive and furniture compounds
Quality & inspection
- 01
Compounder audit: extrusion line, filtration, lab equipment and certification scope verified on site.
- 02
Grade lock: MFI/IV window, ash and colour agreed in the contract, not after.
- 03
Pre-shipment lot testing against the locked grade; datasheet issued per lot.
- 04
Loading photographed: packaging, labels, container seal — shared same day.
- 05
Retained samples per lot for 12 months; deviations settled against them.
