Washed PET flakes are among the most widely used recycled plastics because they offer improved purity after undergoing systematic cleaning. These flakes come from post-consumer PET bottles that are crushed and washed to remove dirt, residue, glue, and other impurities. Due to the washing process, manufacturers across textile, packaging, and sheet-forming industries prefer washed flakes over unwashed alternatives. Their quality depends heavily on sorting accuracy, washing effectiveness, and moisture control. They reduce reliance on virgin PET and contribute significantly to global sustainability efforts.
