What are recycled PET abrasive discs?
Recycled abrasive discs are a sustainable solution within the professional cleaning industry. These products are manufactured using post-consumer recycled PET fiber, combining high performance with reduced environmental impact.
From plastic waste to recycled abrasive discs
The material used in sustainable abrasive discs for professional cleaning is post-consumer recycled PET (PCR PET), a polymer obtained from recycling plastic packaging such as bottles and containers. This material is recovered through selective collection systems and industrial recycling processes that transform waste into valuable raw materials.
This process includes four key stages:
- Collection and sorting of PET plastic, followed by industrial recycling
- Separation and cleaning to remove contaminants
- Shredding and washing to obtain clean PET material
- Extrusion and pelletizing to convert recycled material into raw material
This process enables the transformation of plastic waste into new industrial products, such as polyester fibers used in our recycled abrasive discs.
Sustainable abrasive discs for professional cleaning
Hilados Biete – Ressol recycled PET abrasive discs, available in various colors, are made from 100% recycled polyester fiber. They incorporate a resin bonding system and aluminum oxide abrasive, ensuring durability and high resistance in cleaning applications.
Applications of recycled abrasive discs
Recycled PET abrasive discs are designed for multiple professional cleaning uses:
- Deep cleaning of industrial floors
- Removal of embedded dirt
- Light stripping processes
- Maintenance of surfaces in commercial facilities
- Use with rotary machines or industrial scrubbers
Key features
- Open structure for efficient dirt absorption and retention
- High durability thanks to fiber entanglement and water-based resins
- Washable and reusable product for extended lifecycle
- Multiple abrasion levels depending on color, suitable for cleaning and stripping tasks
Available abrasion levels:
Soft | Soft-Medium | Medium-High
Medium | Heavy | Extra Heavy
These discs are available in different diameters to fit all types of rotary machines, including polishing and buffing equipment. All packaging is recyclable, reinforcing their sustainable value.
Environmental benefits of recycled PET
The use of recycled PET supports the circular economy by:
- Reducing plastic waste
- Lowering CO₂ emissions compared to virgin plastic
- Decreasing dependence on fossil resources
For Hilados Biete – Ressol, sustainability drives technological innovation. Using recycled materials in professional cleaning products contributes to a more responsible industrial model without compromising quality.
