Overview

The Mend's rPET bags are made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic, primarily sourced from post-consumer water bottles. These bags offer the durability and functionality of traditional plastic bags while significantly reducing environmental impact. Our rPET bags help close the loop in plastic recycling, giving new life to materials that might otherwise end up in landfills or oceans. They can be customized to your design and dimensions, making them suitable for various retail and packaging needs.

High tearing index

The tear index is the quotient of the tearing resistance and the grammage and can be used to compare the tearing resistance of different grades of newsprint. A high tearing index means it is more difficult to tear the paper.

Raw Material

Industrially compostable

Industrial composting can deal with a broader range of compostable products and operates in a highly controlled setting with specific temperatures and conditions. Industrial composting is able to apply a far higher temperature to the already pre-processed packaging material. The high heat breaks the packaging down even further, hastening the decomposition.
