PETG or APET? Why PETG is the preferred choice for medical packaging
Recycling is practically impossible in the medical sector
Due to regulatory and hygiene requirements, waste from hospitals and medical faciused. Medical packaging is incinerated.
Safety and product protection are key
As recycling is not a factor, other criteria take precedence:
• reliable product protection
• sterility and material stability
• safe processing
A study by Eastman shows that PETG meets these requirements particularly well.
Advantages of PETG
• remains flexible and shatter-resistant even after sterilisation
• compatible with standard sterilisation processes
• high transparency and easy processing
Conclusion
For medical packaging, it is not recyclability that is decisive, but safety, quality and reliability. PETG offers clear advantages over APET in this regard.
