PinnPack, situated in Oxnard, Calif., and rPlanet Earth, situated in Vernon, Calif., will every obtain $2 million in direct low-interest loans.
“Those are both pretty significant loans for the PET waste stream,” CalRecycle’s Howard Levenson stated on the company’s June 20 assembly.
PinnPack, which was purchased by bottle-to-bottle PET big CarbonLITE in April, will double its rPET utilization in manufacturing thermoformed containers. The producer at the moment makes use of 3,000 tons of recycled PET pellets per 12 months. According to CalRecycle project documents, the corporate will use the mortgage to finance and set up gear, and develop and modify its manufacturing line.

The launch added CarbonLITE would be the “major source” of recycled PET pellets for PinnPack. The new funding will even enable the corporate to recycle 130 tons of scrap materials generated throughout manufacturing every year, which is at the moment disposed of in a landfill.
The second firm, rPlanet Earth, is working to open a PET restoration and manufacturing facility in Vernon, Calif. CalRecycle project documents point out rPlanet Earth will use the mortgage funds to buy gear for its new facility, which is the corporate’s first location. The firm will begin recycling 35,000 tons of PET every year, a few of which will probably be used for bottle-to-bottle recycling.
The firm will “process post-consumer plastic from its plastic bottle feedstock to create recycled plastic products including bottle preforms, extruded sheets and thermoformed containers,” in keeping with CalRecycle.
Last summer time, rPlanet Earth acquired $20.5 million in financing for its PET recycling plant, in keeping with a press release.
