Boretech showed food-contact PET recycling at Fakuma 2026
At Fakuma 2026 in Friedrichshafen, Boretech showed washing technology and complete plants for food-contact recycled PET, from bottle-to-bottle to tray-to-tray, with projects in China, India and Pakistan.
Food-contact PET recycling
BoReTech Environmental Engineering, based in Pinghu in Zhejiang Province, exhibited at Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, Germany, from 12 to 16 October 2026, in Hall A6 on Stand 6010. The focus was on washing technology and complete plants that turn post-consumer PET into food-contact recycled material, from bottle-to-bottle to tray-to-tray.
Recent projects
In March 2026 a PET tray recycling plant operated by Suplas in Pinghu went into operation, designed to process 28,000 tonnes of post-consumer trays per year. For Fuhai Group, Boretech supplied a PET bottle washing line with 15 tonnes per hour, which has been in stable commercial operation since May 2026. In India the company commissioned a bottle-to-bottle plant for Chiripal Group in April 2026, combining washing, food-grade pelletising and solid-state polycondensation (SSP) with an annual capacity of 30,000 tonnes. In Pakistan an 8.5 tonnes per hour bottle washing line is running at the PET resin producer Ismail.
Approvals
In 2023 Boretech received an FDA No Objection Letter for the complete washing, pelletising and SSP process, followed in July 2025 by a further one for the SSP process. In November 2025 the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a positive scientific opinion on the brtCombipet combination of pelletising and SSP. Besides PET lines, the company, founded in 2005, builds washing lines for HDPE, PP, rigid plastics and film as well as polyester staple fibre lines.
