Al Mehtab Industries. Delivering Excellence.

We are India’s leading and innovative Plastic

Reprocessing Facility delivering an excellent service

to industry demand for recycled materials.

We buy discarded soft drinks and water bottles

made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and

recycle them back into food-grade plastic

pellets which are then used to make new bottles

and food packaging. Our plant in India is first to

use state-of-the-art technology to sort, wash and

super clean PET plastic meeting highest of

the international standards.

With millions of discarded plastic bottles that would

otherwise have been sent to landfill, will now be

reprocessed for re-use in making new plastic

bottles thus saving thousands of tonnes of carbon

dioxide emissions annually.

Our Plastics Reprocessing Facility Al Mehtab

Industries Pvt. Ltd is located at Gajraula (India)

with intensive coverage area of 240,000 sq.ft

equipped with the most advanced and latest

technology machinery to process and produce

high quality super-cleaned PET Flakes.

This valuable raw material is compounded into

high quality food grade pellets which are used as

a recycled content in manufacturing of new food

grade plastic bottles thus avoiding the need to

use virgin plastic pellets.

With capacity of each machine processing 1.5

metric tonnes per hour we are considered India’s

leading post-consumer plastic bottles re-

processing plant.

With expansion plans and investment in the latest

recycling technology we are in the market looking

for new sources of clean and segregated post

consumer PET bottles promising best market rates

with an open and honest approach at all times.

As one of the leading manufacturers of recycled

Polyethylene Terephthalate (rPET), Al Mehtab

Industries understands how environmentally-sound

decisions can impact the packaging bottom line.

But what exactly is PET? And why is rPET so

valuable? PET is a polymer that is used to manufacture

strong, clear, bottles, lightweight containers and

packaging. A key advantage of PET is that it has a

well-established recycling infrastructure and can

be recycled numerous times. Its superb physical

properties enable the manufacture of lightweight

containers which minimizes the use of natural

resources.

Through Al Mehtab’s ongoing focus on process

and product development, we're able to develop

cost-effective, high-performing rPET resins. They

provide our customers with a sustainable resource

which helps them meet regulatory mandates for

both food and non-food applications.

Through our state-of-the-art materials separation

and elutriation services, we also can take your

scrap regrind, re-melt and reform it into pellets

that can be reintroduced into your bottle-making

process.

Implementing innovation, maximizing value Using the process, we're able to pelletize and crystallize rPET for reuse back in to consumer packaging applications. Always at the forefront of recycling innovation, the process enables us to produce rPET that processes like virgin PET but requires less energy to manufacture. And since it runs like virgin, no special process changes are needed to use our rPET.

With advanced technology, innovative quality processes, cost-saving repelletizing services, and first-rate support, Al Mehtab Industries can exceed your expectations - and maximize your profits.

Sustainable resources, attainable solutions By creating clean, high-quality rPET in a consistent manner, Al Mehtab rPET resins can easily be

incorporated into packaging for a variety of applications. Using modern technology, Al Mehtab is able to pelletize and crystallize recycled, post-consumer PET for reuse back into consumer packaging applications. State-of-the-art processes and quality assurance standards have enabled the company to develop rPET that can be blended with virgin resin and actually mimic its performance.

Additionally, rPET requires less energy to manufacture per pound than that of virgin PET. The end result is a sustainable, cost-effective, high-performing solution that many of our customers use as a 100% replacement for virgin-without compromising manufacturing efficiencies or product performance standards.

At Al Mehtab Industries, our quality is born out of

our innovative process. By using modern

technologies, we create the high-quality recycled

PET (rPET) our customers have come to

expect over the time.

All of our products start with the same basic

process steps - securing ‘A’ Grade post-consumer

PET Bottles. These are recovered from bottles

consumers put into curbside collection bins or

take to the local recycling centre, which are then

assembled into bales.

Neck cuttings directly placed into an

injection machine, there is a risk that

bridging will occur. This means that a

blockage at the feed throat , which

connects the feed hopper with the barrel,

is caused by the clumps that are formed

out of neck cuttings because of the

following reasons:

•The size and low bulk density of neck

cuttings

•Their tendency to curl and

mechanically interlock when dried

Therefore it is recommended that neck

cuttings and flakes be pelletized before

injection moulded.

PET recycling offers the following

environmental benefits:

•Oil is conserved. When a ton of rPET

replaces PET, 3.8 barrels of petroleum is

saved.

•Saving space on landfills.

•Energy consumption, in comparison to

PET, is reduced by 84%.

•Reduction in greenhouse emission of 71%

Our Recycled PET goes through an

excruciating three stage filtration process

using different micron screens under

vacuum resulting in 0% contamination. In

Neck Cutting the contamination levels are

high, PH levels and caustic residues are on

the higher side making it dangerous and

hazardous for health.

Our Recycled PET has Zero PVC content.

This makes it easy for our consumers to use

it as a replica of Virgin Pellets. Neck

Cuttings may contain particles of PVC

which increases Preform defects, reduces

production and decreases IV.

Our Recycled PET is packaged in new bags

every time under dust free conditions under

an European standard packaging process

whereas the Neck Cutting is packaged in

old bags and dust is collected due to the

friction created and other weather

conditions till it reaches the extruders.

Our Recycled PET contains 0% fines, once

flakes are transformed into pellets no

residue is left over. Whereas in Neck Cutting

fines are collected at the bottom

increasing with due course which not only

contaminates the Preform but also affect

the overall production as these fines slowly

get settled in the Preform block.

Our Recycled PET has moisture levels that

do not exceed 0.3% providing a benefit of

approx 1.5% in weight whereas for Neck

Cutting the normal moisture level is 1.5%

and can go up to 3% under different

weather conditions.

Our Recycled PET temperatures are

maintained at the same level of Virgin

Resins, i.e. 280’C- 285’C. Neck Cutting

requires a higher temperature up to 310’C

for melting because of variable wall

thickness ranging from 1mm-3mm.

Recycled PET Neck Cuttings

Our Recycled PET provides a uniform

melting cycle resulting in less consumption

of electricity and higher production. While

using Neck Cutting there is an excessive

use of electricity because of maintaining

different melting points rising up to 30’C

higher than normal.

Our Recycled PET is manufactured using

only ‘A’ Grade quality bottles because of

which the colour variation is negligible. In

Neck Cutting there are necks of second

bottles present which makes the colour

variation very distinguished.

Our rPET has an Intrinsic Viscosity which is

homogenous throughout. In Neck Cutting it

varies as there are chances of PVC to be

present in the material which in turn results

in a low IV and production quality.
