At JB Ecotex, our work begins long before a plastic bottle becomes a new yarn or a recycled flake finds its place in manufacturing. It starts at the source. with the collection of post-consumer PET bottles. And this story isn’t only about recycling. It’s about people, compliance and systems working together.
In 2025, plastic bottle recycle is more than an industry. It is a network. From individual collectors in Surat to sourcing agents in Maharashtra, this ecosystem is full of people doing honest work. If you’re a collector, vendor or aggregator, your role is at the heart of what makes circularity possible in India.
This blog explores how plastic bottle recycle works in practice, what compliance looks like, and how we at JB Ecotex want to work alongside you. We are hoping not just to buy, but to build something long-term.
Who We Are (JB Ecotex)
JB Ecotex is a recycler of post-consumer and post-industrial PET waste. We work at scale to convert discarded PET into raw material for sustainable textiles and packaging, using advanced processes that support circularity.
Our facilities handle multiple forms of PET including flakes, chips, fines, and regrinds. We’ve built long-standing sourcing relationships with suppliers, aggregators, and collection centers across India.
We’re not just in the business of recycling plastic. We’re part of the larger transition to responsible consumption, where every PET bottle collected today creates new material value tomorrow. And we’re always looking to grow that effort with sourcing partners who care about that future.

Your Role as a PET Bottle Supplier
When it comes to PET bottle sourcing, we look for partners who are committed to consistency. That doesn’t mean high volume at any cost. It means good practices and mutual respect.
We buy PET bottles directly from suppliers and aggregators across regions. This reduces dependency on brokers and shortens the chain. Our focus is on building long-term relationships with those who are part of this industry on the ground.

2. Logistics coordination for large volumes
3. Support with documentation and compliance

EPR Compliance India: What You Should Know
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has become a core requirement for businesses involved in plastic packaging.
If you are supplying bottles or running a PET bottle collection network, it’s helpful to know that JB Ecotex is a registered plastic waste processor. When you sell to us, your work helps fulfill EPR compliance India regulations for many packaging brands.
We also provide traceable documentation and work with clients across India to meet their EPR targets. This gives our vendors an edge as your collections become part of a legally compliant waste stream.
EPR compliance India rules are evolving every year, and 2025 brings tighter reporting requirements. Working with a formal recycler like us can help you stay on the right side of these regulations.
Best Practices for PET Waste Sourcing
To make the most of plastic bottle recycle, the quality of collected material matters. Below are some practical tips:
1. Separate PET from other materials: Avoid mixing with PVC or metal scraps
2. Keep dry stock: Moisture adds unnecessary weight and damages material
3. Avoid labels if possible: They can be processed, but clean stock has higher value
4. Track your supply: Maintaining a record helps with compliance and pricing
PET waste sourcing is successful when everyone in the chain values consistency. Even small changes in handling and sorting can lead to better outcomes and higher payments.
