ParaStar™ PET resins, created using our own IntegRex™ technology, enable an integrated melt-to-resin process that delivers significantly improved efficiency and sustainability. The result – a next generation PET resin that consumes less energy, water and raw materials, resulting in products that have a smaller environmental footprint throughout their lives and beyond.

Because ParaStar™ resins require substantially less energy per pound to produce than conventional PET resins, they help conserve valuable natural resources. Customers may also achieve source reduction through lighter weight packages. Add to this the increased process efficiencies that you’ll enjoy, and you have a resin that is smarter, greener and more cost effective.

Why is ParaStar™ a more sustainable resin?

  • ParaStar™ resins require less energy and inputs to produce than standard PET resins.
  • ParaStar™ provides customers with greater opportunities to be environmentally responsible in their own processing and conversion.
  • Products molded or formed from ParaStar™ resins are 100 percent recyclable and are compatible with the existing PET recycling stream.
