Recycled PET (rPET) refers to PET that has been collected, sorted, cleaned, and processed for reuse in new products
It helps conserve virgin materials, reduce landfill waste, and create a more sustainable material cycle
Different Types of Products made from Recycled PET
(3/n)
The process to recycle PET:
1. Collection 2. Sorting 3. Cleaning 4. Shredding 5. Melting and Reprocessing 6. Manufacturing from pellets
Key raw materials for recycling PET include PET waste (bottles, containers), cleaning agents, and energy for the recycling process
(4/n)
Benefits of Using Recycled Materials Over Virgin Plastic
1. Recycled materials reduce carbon emissions (30%-80%) 2. Life Cycle Assessments confirm environmental benefits of PET bottle recycling into fibers. 3. Recycled PET offers:
# 40-85% less non-renewable energy use

But 90% of investors read insider buying data WRONG
Here's the framework I use to separate real conviction from noise:
A masterclass in reading SAST filings 🧵
First, understand the 3 types of insider buying:
1️⃣ Open Market Purchase
→ Promoter buys from secondary market
→ Signal strength: MODERATE
2️⃣ Preferential Allotment
→ Company issues fresh shares to promoter
→ Signal strength: STRONG
3️⃣ Warrant Conversion
→ Promoter converts warrants to equity
→ Signal strength: STRONG (already paid 25% upfront)
🚩 RED FLAGS - Avoid these types of "insider buying":
❌ Inter-se transfers (just moving shares between family members)
❌ Reclassification (converting public to promoter category)
❌ Inheritance/gift transfers
❌ Frequent issuance of shares/warrants
These show ZERO conviction. Just accounting jugglery
I particularly like Engr. goods cos. with small replacement cycle
They are a lot like FMCG
Sealmatic makes mechanical seals for critical industries like oil & gas, chemical, nuclear, etc
Here's a 🧵 on Seals industry

Why Seals Are Needed?
- To prevent leakage of liquids, gases, oil, chemicals, water, steam, or air from one area to another
- To prevent product loss
- To ensure safety
- To prevent contamination of clean fluids
- To maintain machine efficiency
