About PTI Recycling Systems and its Phoenix LNO™ c technology

Phoenix Technologies is a worldwide leader for the manufacture of recycled PET (rPET).  Though you may not realize it, chances are, you see and use Phoenix Technologies rPET everyday.  The company is responsible for creating the raw material used to package many of your favorite products.  From food and beverages to pharmaceuticals, shampoos and soaps to detergents, its rPET resin is used in the creation of a wide variety of packaging solutions.

With its patented technology for small particle size, fine mesh filtration, significant manufacturing capacity, state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled customer service, Phoenix accomplishes its mission of "Advancing the Value of Recycling Through the Use of Technology" and exceeding expectations along the way.

Using a proprietary process developed at Phoenix in conjunction with its sister company, Plastic Technologies, Inc. (PTI), the LNO™ c technology pelletizes and crystallizes recycled post-consumer PET for direct sale and reuse back in to consumer packaging applications. Always at the forefront of recycling innovation, Phoenix's patented fine mesh filtration process enables the production of rPET that processes like virgin PET but requires less energy to manufacture. And since it runs like virgin PET, no special process changes are needed to use our rPET.

The LNO™ c process relies on Phoenix's patented "extremely small particle size" technology. The tiny particle size enables much more efficient decontamination compared to other processes, resulting in faster output and significant energy savings. (The "c" in the brand name refers to the "compacted" resin that is the end result.)

LNO™ c technology produces rPET with superior color and yield as compared to other methods.  Further, it has lower acetaldehyde levels which positively impact taste properties.  Another benefit is its higher intrinsic viscosity (IV) or molecular weight which more closely matches the IV found in virgin resins.  This enables higher package performance. 

The resulting rPET is ideally suited for a variety of food and beverage applications including water, carbonated soft drinks, juices, fruit, baked goods, meats and cheeses.  Package types include bottles, thermoformed containers and films, as well as drinking cups, vegetable oil and deli containers.

PTI Recycling Systems, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plastic Technologies, Inc., was established to bring this proven Phoenix LNO™ c rPET production process to the global marketplace.  

The system is designed to cost-effectively address increased international rPET demand for blow molding, injection molding and thermoforming applications, by efficiently turning post-consumer PET containers into reusable food-grade resin.

This is the proven technology employed by PTI Recycling Systems to deliver to you an advanced solution for producing food-grade rPET anywhere across the globe.
