Pure Tech triples PET recycling capacity

EAST FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (Jan. 15, 11:20 a.m. ET) -- Pure Tech Plastics LLC has nearly tripled recycled PET flake production capacity in a project that started up in early January.

The East Farmingdale company invested more than $1.5 million in the project, which included a production line upgrade, an expanded quality assurance laboratory and a shift to 24-hour operation, seven days a week. The project boosted capacity from
12 million pounds per year to nearly 35 million pounds per year and led to more consistent quality.

"Our customers will reap the benefits and get the biggest return on investment from our changes," said CEO David Bender in a news release.

Pure Tech spokeswoman Julie Schaefer said the investment included an enhanced water system that reduces the amount of water used and that recycles water. The firm redesigned its wash line for continuous batch washing that boosts output of the company’s food packaging and bottle grade flake. The redesign includes a patent-pending microprocessor, special liquid control and high-powered washing for consistent high quality.
