For every tonne of rPET we produce, we save 1.5 tonnes of CO2 from being produced by displacing the use of virgin polymer with rPET in new packaging products.

Clean Tech - About Us
At Clean Tech, we aim to create new resources from post-consumer waste. We supply some of the world’s best known brands and our material can be found in packaging supplied to every major food retailer in the UK. We work in partnership with our customers to ensure they can reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on quality and service.
Our Manufacturing
Part of the Plastipak Group, Clean Tech operates the UK’s largest post-consumer bottle reprocessing plant and is the UK’s leading food grade rPET manufacturer.
All the products we produce have been manufactured in the UK using post-consumer waste.
Every individual PET bottle we recycle is given a second life, saving raw materials and reducing waste thus creating a better environment for us all to live in.
We truly believe the circular economy – one where resources are kept in use as long as possible – is essential to developing a sustainable society. We are therefore the ideal partner for any organisation that uses PET packaging and is serious about developing a sustainable long term business model.
