PET Strapping
PET Strapping Recycling Closing the loop on industrial packaging waste
Polyester (PET) strapping is widely used across warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and retail — but once it’s cut, it often ends up in landfill. At Waste Choice, we provide a specialised PET strapping recycling service that transforms used strapping into valuable raw material for new products.
By recycling your PET strapping, you’ll not only cut disposal costs but also support a truly circular economy for plastics.
Why recycle PET strapping?
- Landfill diversion: Keep thousands of tonnes of PET strapping out of landfill each year.
- Cost savings: Reduce disposal costs and maximise material recovery.
- Sustainability leadership: Supports your ESG and sustainability goals with a transparent recycling pathway.
- Circular economy: Used PET strapping is reprocessed into raw material and made into new strapping products.
Benefits of Waste Choice Recycling Program
- High recycled content: New PET strapping can be made with up to 85% recycled material.
- Strong & reliable: PET strapping retains high tension and strength, while being safer and lighter than steel.
- Lower footprint: Reduces CO₂ emissions, energy consumption, and reliance on virgin plastics.
- End-to-end service: Waste Choice manages collection, transport, and recycling with trusted partners.

How the Program Works
1
Consolidation
Consolidate your waste strapping on site into Bulk Bags ready for collection. Once bulk bags are ready please call our team to arrange collection. ** ONLY PET strapping is to be placed in the bulk bags for processing. There is to be no PP strapping. Failure to comply will force contamination processing charges and the service may be stopped for the site.
2
Collection
Collection Waste Choice will collect the strapping in bulk bags and deliver into our processing facility.
3
Processing
Intermediate Processing Our facility will process the strapping into 6mm-7mm lengths, identifying and removing any contaminants. Contaminants will be recorded and may incur contamination charge.
4
Recycling
Recycling & Reuse Collected strapping is sent for final processing and recycled into RPET pellets and then manufactured into new PET products, closing the recycling loop.
