Teijin boosts capacity for recycled polyester
The polyester fibre manufacturing arm of Japan’s Teijin Frontier will launch a facility to convert used domestically-produced plastic bottles into recycled polyester chips to feed its demands for ECOPET recycled filament yarn.

The facility will start operating in January 2022 and is expected produce 7,000 tons of recycled polyester chips annually by fiscal 2025.

Teijin Frontier will install cleaning equipment and the latest repelletizing machine for removing foreign substances from the recycled PET bottles before they are molded into chips.
