Dear Mr. Reynolds,

That is a nice article and also good information about the new thought procees company is coming up with to make their own resin.

I wanted to know would flakes from clear and white PET film work in bottle manufacturing? I was looking for the IV propective...for bottling, IV is 0.7 and these PET films are IV 0.6-0.7.

Is there any depolymerisation involve in this recycling of PET waste , How you bring the I.V.up for chips or flakes for bottle grade resin.

Well, most confortable way is by adding prime resin to it unless you have EPXENSIVE machines that can raise the IV of the flakes.
I have PET film clear film waste without any coating..but in boxes as slabs.
