Overview

Recycled PET Sheets Incorporating Ocean-Bound Plastic

AVI Global Plast offers rPET sheets incorporating recycled material sourced from ocean-bound plastic waste — plastic collected from coastal areas where it is at risk of entering the ocean. The offering supports packaging projects that combine recycled-content requirements with specific material-sourcing goals.

Built on our rPET material range, these sheets support thermoforming and suitable retail and food-packaging applications. Total recycled content and ocean-bound content are specified separately, with sourcing information, grade details and current certification status available through AVI's team.

Material Fit

Is Ocean-Bound Plastic rPET right for your process?

Thermoforming

For blisters, clamshells, containers, punnets and trays incorporating ocean-bound recycled material. Discuss forming depth, tooling, dimensions and appearance requirements.

Retail Packaging

For projects where recycled content and material origin form part of the packaging brief. Select the specification around product presentation, conversion and handling needs.

Food Packaging

For suitable applications requiring both material-sourcing evidence and food-contact documentation. Discuss the food type, storage conditions and destination market.

Sourcing & Packaging Claims

For brands specifying ocean-bound material within their packaging. Confirm the OBP proportion, supporting evidence and applicable claim or labelling requirements for the selected grade.

Ocean-Bound Material Sourcing

The offering incorporates plastic waste collected from coastal areas at risk of leakage into the ocean. Request the sourcing criteria and traceability information applicable to the material.

Separate Content Measures

Total recycled content describes the recycled proportion of the sheet. Ocean-bound content identifies the proportion attributable to that specific waste source.

Established rPET Base

The material draws on AVI's rPET range, with dimensions, finish and composition selected for the packaging application.

Certification & Claim Support

OBP sourcing certification and recycled-content verification address different claims. Contact AVI's team for the current status and scope of each.
