What is PET and its benefits?
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a widely used plastic material for making containers and bottles for purified water. It is lightweight, durable, economical, and, most importantly, 100% recyclable. But does that also apply to large volume bottles? The answer is yes, although there are important nuances you should know.
Can PET bottles be recycled?
Yes. PET bottles can indeed be recycled. This includes both smooth models and the bottle with a handle. However, not all bottles on the market are designed with complete recyclability. This is where Demizon makes a difference as a bottle manufacturer that bets on sustainability.
Common myths about PET recycling
❌ “PET can only be recycled once”
False. Recyclable PET can be reprocessed multiple times, and it can also be mixed with virgin resin to maintain its quality.
❌ “Bottles with handles cannot be recycled”
False. At Demizon, all our bottles are 100% recyclable. Models with integrated handles do not require disassembly to start the recycling process, as the handle is made of 100% PET. This allows the entire bottle to be fully recycled, without complications.
What makes Demizon different?
At Demizon, we offer PET bottles for purified water 100% recyclable:
- Models smooth and with ergonomic handle.
- We are aware of the environmental impact, which is why we manufacture all our bottles —including the handle— with 100% PET, allowing them to be easily reintegrated into the production cycle without additional processes or material separation.
Unlike other options on the market, where polypropylene or ABS handles prevent complete recycling, our products are designed to facilitate the total recovery of the material, reducing waste and promoting a real circular economy.

Best practices for your business
If your company distributes water or liquid products, implementing these practices can help you operate more sustainably:
- Choose suppliers that guarantee highly recyclable products, such as Demizon.
- Make sure to properly clean the jugs before their reuse.
- Promote environmental awareness campaigns inside and outside your company.
Conclusion: Recycling is indeed possible
At Demizon, we not only manufacture plastic jugs, we manufacture responsible solutions.
By using 100% PET throughout the product, including the handle, we facilitate complete and hassle-free recycling. This decision stems from our awareness of environmental impact and our commitment to sustainability.
Each recyclable jug is an opportunity to care for the planet and support companies in their ecological goals.
