Inline Plastics will continue our commitment to developing packaging solutions for a better planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Key differences between rDPET\u2122 and traditional PET plastics are the proprietary chemical recycling and the energy efficient \u2018direct to sheet\u2019 process. rDPET\u2122 starts with high quality post consumer flake which is then chemically recycled at the molecular level. This process breaks down the post consumer flake into molecules \u2013 which are polymerized with virgin ones, then turned into material with an environmentally friendly \u2018direct-to-sheet\u2019 process. By breaking down and reconstituting the material at the molecular level, there is no loss of strength in the ensuing rDPET\u2122 sheet retaining all the characteristics of virgin material. Through this proprietary process, plastic can be turned into clean, new plastic again and again, preserving quality so it does not have to end up in a landfill. Finally, Inline Plastics takes the rDPET\u2122 sheet and thermoforms it into an array of industry-leading products. The thermoforming production is powered in-part by solar panels, further reducing negative impacts to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>About Inline Plastics<\/p>\n<p>Inline Plastics is the leading manufacturer of innovative, high quality, crystal clear, food packaging containers.
