BoReTech delivers first PET tray washing project to Africa and the Middle East
BoReTech has signed a contract with GreenTech to deliver a 4,000 kg/h PET tray washing line to Egypt, marking the first dedicated PET tray washing project in Africa and the Middle East.
Contract signing ceremony between BoReTech and GreenTech.
The line will process post-consumer PET trays into high-quality PET flakes for tray-to-tray recycling, setting a new benchmark for high-value PET tray recycling in the region.
Rising demand on recycling technologies in Egypt
As one of the Africa’s leading industrial economies, Egypt has been actively advancing its circular economy initiatives in recent years.
With the implementation of the new Waste Management Law and the gradual rollout of EPR scheme, post-consumer PET trays are becoming an important resource for plastic recycling.
As a result, the market has increasing demand on PET tray recycling solutions that can deliver high recovery yields and high product quality.
BoReTech’s PET tray washing system
The project adopts BoReTech’s PET tray washing system, featuring low loss, high quality, modular, and fully automated continuous processing.
By integrating material loosening, intensive hot washing, Mega Aspirator, and enhanced yield technologies, the system efficiently loosens highly compacted materials while minimizing material breakage.
Building long-term partnership with Egypt
The project was invested by EGYPTIAN CHINESE COMPANY (ECC). ECC has long been engaged in the plastics and polyester fiber industry and is committed to continuously improving quality and production capacity of recycling polyester products.
“BoReTech’s innovative recycling technologies and extensive project experience in PET recycling give us great confidence in this collaboration. We believe this project will not only ensure reliable project implementation but also strengthen our long-term partnership in advancing PET circularity,” said Mahmoud Samir, owner of ECC.
As the first deployment of BoReTech’s PET tray washing system in Africa and the Middle East, this project represents an important milestone in expanding PET tray recycling applications across international markets.
