Hotfilling food in PET bottles places high demands on materials and technology. Choosing the right hotfill technology is particularly important to ensure safety and quality. In this article, you will find out which proven processes are available and how you can also use recycled PET for hotfilling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

        Yes, the use of rPET is possible. However, to ensure that the high requirements for hot filling are met, we recommend limiting the proportion of rPET to a maximum of 50 %.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
