SETE
A new shape for water, using the same material
SETE in Italian means THIRST. SETE is a drinking set made using recycled PET. We take the PET that was used to produce bottles and reuse the same material to produce another water container. We use rPET coming from both CHEMICAL RECYCLE (for glasses and jug) and MECHANICAL RECYCLE (for tray); moreover, we produce them applying an European patented process (EP3747316). Thanks to it, it is not just possible to overcome the technical limitations of the rPET moulding, but the use of rPET becomes economically sustainable. SETE is the proof that, talking about plastic recycle… “it could work!"
