PET Resins

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin is used for daily-use containers such as plastic beverage bottles, food containers for salads and convenience foods, shampoo bottles and hygiene product bottles, as well as raw materials for polyester materials in the form of synthetic fibers. Since PET rein is easily collected and recycled, it is expected to be used as an environmentally friendly raw material for a variety of applications in the future. Iwatani has signed an agreement to act as agent for Indorama Ventures PCL, among the world’s largest PET resin manufacturers, and currently sells more than approximately 100 thousand tons of PET resin annually. In partnership with Indorama Ventures PCL, we developed bio-PET resin in 2010 and a highly recyclable aluminum catalyst PET resin in 2016 to offer products meeting market needs.
