Description
Eolas Prints Recycled PET (rPET) pellets are a 100% post-consumer recycled feedstock for pellet-fed and large-format 3D printing — a lower-cost, lower-carbon alternative to virgin PETG granulate. Made from recycled plastic bottles and European-made, these bottle-grade rPET pellets close the material loop on one of the most widely produced and least-recovered plastics in the waste stream. Sometimes sold as recycled PETG or rPETG pellets, they deliver mechanical properties closely comparable to virgin PETG: good toughness, moderate heat resistance, and a natural light-blue translucency — making them a credible circular-economy choice for Large-Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) and Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF).
Key Properties
| Material | Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (rPET / recycled PETG) |
| Source | 100% post-consumer recycled bottles |
| Recycled content | 100% — circular, lower-carbon feedstock |
| Food-contact-safe raw material | Yes — bottle-grade rPET resin (see note below) |
| Density | 1.38 g/cm³ |
| Hardness | Shore D87 |
| Pellet size | 2–3.5 mm (spherical) |
| Colour | Light blue, translucent (slight batch variation — inherent to recycled material) |
| Compliance | REACH statement on file (downloadable) |
| Moisture sensitivity | High — dry before use |
| Available sizes | 1 kg — bulk big bags available on request |
A Note on Food Contact
These are genuine bottle-grade rPET pellets — the same recycled PET resin used to manufacture new drinks bottles — so the raw material is food-contact safe. That certification applies to the raw pellet feedstock, not to finished printed parts. 3D-printed surfaces contain microscopic gaps between layers that can harbour bacteria, and most printers use brass nozzles that may introduce trace metals into the print. For this reason, no 3D-printed object can be guaranteed food-safe by the material alone. If you intend a part for food contact, print it with a stainless-steel nozzle and apply a food-safe sealant — and assess suitability for your specific use. This remains the responsibility of the maker.
Recommended Print Settings
| Nozzle temperature | 230–250°C (printer-dependent) |
| Bed temperature | 70–85°C |
| Drying | 65–70°C for 4–6 hours before printing |
| System | Pellet-fed FGF extruders and large-format (LFAM) printers; PioCreat pellet 3D printers (G5 Ultra / MS01 / G12) — PETG-class: run a test print first |
| Enclosure | Helpful for large parts; not mandatory |
Dialling In Your Settings
rPET shares PETG's printing behaviour, so the same tuning applies. New to recycled PET or fine-tuning a fresh batch? These guides walk you through it: our complete rPET pellets buyer's guide, our PETG, TPU & ASA settings guide, how to fix stringing and oozing (PET's most common issue when printed wet), and first-layer & bed-adhesion troubleshooting. For everything in one place, see our complete troubleshooting & calibration guide.
Recommended Applications
- Large-format (LFAM) and high-volume pellet printing where material cost per kilo is decisive
- Sustainable functional parts with a recycled-content or circular-economy requirement (procurement, public sector, ESG)
- Functional prototypes, enclosures, brackets and structural components for moderate-temperature environments (up to ~70°C under light load)
- Projects that need a European-sourced, ship-from-stock recycled material rather than imported feedstock
rPET vs Virgin PETG
rPET and virgin PETG are chemically closely related — both are polyethylene terephthalate. rPET costs less per kilo, carries a significantly lower carbon footprint (producing rPET uses roughly 60% less energy than virgin PET from petroleum feedstock), and prints almost identically. The trade-off is colour consistency: rPET shows slight batch-to-batch variation inherent to any 100% recycled material — rarely an issue for functional parts. For guaranteed virgin-grade colour and tolerance, choose our virgin PETG pellets instead.
European-Made · Shipped from Stock
These rPET pellets are European-made from 100% post-consumer feedstock by a specialist manufacturer certified to ISO standards, and shipped from Eolas Prints' stock in Cantabria, Spain. A REACH statement is available to download. Available in 1 kg bags, with bulk big bags for production-scale and continuous large-format printing. Contact us for bulk pricing and volumes.
Shipping policy
When do you ship?
We ship Monday to Friday from our warehouse in Cantabria, Spain. In-stock orders placed before the cut-off time ship the same business day. Orders placed after the cut-off, or at the weekend, ship on the next business day.
| Spain & Portugal | Orders placed before 4PM CET ship the same day. |
| Rest of the world | Orders placed before 1PM CET ship the same day. |
Products with a lead time shown on their product page ship as soon as they are available, within the lead time shown.
How do you ship?
Parcels — we ship with GLS within mainland Spain & Portugal and with UPS to the rest of the world. Shipping is calculated at checkout from your delivery address, the weight of your order and live carrier rates, so you see the exact price and delivery options before you pay.
Pallet freight — large and heavy machines, such as CO₂ laser cutters and industrial or large-format printers, ship on a pallet by road or, to islands and overseas destinations, by sea. Orders over 40 kg to mainland Spain & Portugal also ship by pallet. The pallet rate for your destination is shown at checkout, and orders over 150 kg ship on two pallets.
Free shipping
Free standard shipping on filament, pellets and accessories:
- Mainland Spain & Portugal: orders over €100 (GLS)
- Other EU countries: orders over €150 (UPS Standard), excluding Malta and Cyprus
Free shipping does not apply to 3D printers, 3D scanners, laser machines or other equipment, or to the Balearic and Canary Islands, Ceuta, Melilla, the Azores and Madeira.

Pallet deliveries
- The carrier will contact you to arrange a delivery day, so please give a phone number that will be answered.
- Delivery is to your address at ground level. The pallet is not carried inside or unpacked, so please make sure you can unload it — with a forklift, a pallet truck or enough people. Machines can weigh 70 - 250 kg.
- If your address has restricted access (no truck access, a narrow street, no loading area) or you need a tail-lift, please contact us before ordering.
- Check the pallet before signing. Note any visible damage on the delivery note and send us photos within 24 hours.
- If a delivery fails because no one is available or the address cannot be accessed, redelivery and storage may be charged.
How about taxes & duties?
EU, including mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands: VAT is included in the price you pay at checkout. Nothing further is due on delivery.
Outside the EU VAT area, including the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla: all orders ship on DAP (Delivered at Place) terms. We pay for export clearance and transport to your address. Import duties, import taxes (such as VAT, IGIC or IPSI) and customs clearance fees are not included and are paid by the recipient.
- Parcels: UPS will contact you to arrange payment of any duties and taxes before delivery.
- Pallets: the carrier's agent or a customs broker at destination will contact you. You are responsible for import clearance.
If a shipment is refused or not cleared through customs, the return freight and any costs incurred will be deducted from any refund.
Countries we do not ship to
Due to EU sanctions, we do not ship to Russia or Belarus.
