The new rPET product that Scanfill now offers its customers is the latest in the development of high-quality materials based on recycled materials that have entered the market.

Thanks to careful sorting and gentle handling of the raw material, the new Prevented Ocean Plastic^TM (POP) rPET material can, among other things, exhibit a clearer transparency than other rPET.

“Prevented Ocean Plastic^TM rPET both performs and looks as good as virgin PET,” says Oscar Hugoson, CEO of Scanfill.

“The product specifications of the POP rPET foil we produce are comparable to those of our Scanfoil PET, which is based on virgin material.”

POP is an rPET that not only maintains a high level of transparency and quality, but also has a great impact on the local community.

“For those of us who have worked with recycled plastic for a long time, POP is a unique product as it both offers high material performance and actively contributes to reducing pollution in the coastal areas where it is collected,” says Oscar Hugoson.

Certified recycled plastic with traceable origin

POP is a high-quality, certified recycled plastic that meets current health and safety standards. The raw material is collected by hand from selected coastal areas around the world, where plastic packaging risks polluting the ocean and negatively impacting marine life.

“With POP, we can even trace the raw material back to a specific coastal region, so you’ll know whether your plastic comes from the Mediterranean, Central America, the Galapagos, or somewhere else,” says Oscar Hugoson.

Quality is central to future investments

Scanfill’s recent investments have focused on upgrading systems to ensure consistent quality throughout their production lines. This investment in the new product is another step toward continually improved quality.

“We see a growing demand for recycled materials, and our ambition is to stay at the forefront, offering our customers both materials and expertise in this rapidly expanding field,” says Oscar Hugoson.
