Boretech’s Integrated Cap Material Recycling System: Driving High-value Innovation in Plastic Recycling
2026-1-19
Over the past two years, the PET recycling industry has undergone profound changes. Sustained fluctuations in raw material prices, increasing pressure from overcapacity, and rising environmental standards have placed significant strain on corporate profit margins.
It is against this industry backdrop that Boretech, thinking from the client’s perspective, asks: How can PET bottle recycling enterprises enhance the overall value of their recycling operations based on existing production lines? The answer points to a long-overlooked yet highly valuable component — PP and PE caps. These traditionally regarded “by-products” are becoming key to improving the profitability of PET recycling plants.
Instead of treating cap recycling as an independent process, Boretech has organically integrated the online cap collection and washing process into the PET recycling production line from the perspective of integrated whole-line design. This design concept delivers multiple advantages: the system connects directly to the existing PET production line and shares key equipment and facilities, avoiding duplicate investment and significantly improving equipment utilization. The compact, integrated design optimizes space utilization, enabling plants to create more value within limited space. The automated process greatly reduces manual intervention, with only two operators typically needed to manage the entire system, thus significantly boosting operational efficiency.
The core technologies of the system include an innovative integrated sink-float tank design, which efficiently separates worthless impurities (such as stones and glass shards) from valuable cap materials. This not only protects subsequent equipment, reduces cutter wear and lowers maintenance costs, but also ensures the purity of cap materials, allowing them to enter higher-value markets. The secondary air separation technology precisely controls wind force to efficiently separate labels from caps, simplifying the washing process while greatly improving the purity and quality of cap materials, thus generating higher economic returns for enterprises.
Cap materials processed by the system have achieved a value leap from "by-products" to "high-quality recycled raw materials". These high-grade materials can be directly applied to high-performance demanding fields such as high-end household goods, industrial parts and automotive interior components, opening up new high-profit markets for PET recycling enterprises and enhancing their overall market competitiveness.
Boretech's integrated cap recycling solution represents a new direction for the recycling industry towards refinement and high-value development. By helping PET recycling enterprises fully tap the potential value of every link, we provide customers with a more sustainable profit model and offer a practical implementation path for the high-quality development of the industry.
