30% RPET vs 50% vs 100% RPET: Which One Makes the Most Sense?
Choosing RPET sheet isn't simply about buying the highest recycled content.
For many packaging buyers, the better question is:
Which RPET percentage best matches your product, budget, and sustainability goals?
Here's a quick overview:
✅ 30% RPET
Stable production
Excellent transparency
Cost-effective for large-volume projects
✅ 50% RPET
The most balanced option
Popular with retailers and food packaging brands
Strong ESG performance without compromising process stability
✅ 100% RPET
Maximum recycled content
Ideal for brands promoting sustainability
Supports circular economy initiatives and carbon reduction goals
Another important point:
RPET and GRS Certified RPET are not the same.
GRS certification verifies recycled content through a traceable supply chain, helping procurement teams meet ESG reporting and customer compliance requirements.
If you're sourcing thermoforming sheet for food packaging, understanding this difference can save time during supplier qualification.
