Volume and emission reduction
RiPET’s patented press is at the center of its revolutionary approach. Can you imagine that the plastic bottles we recycle can be magically compressed until their volume is reduced by more than 90%? This Italian company made it possible. The reduction not only simplifies the transport of packaging to recycling facilities, but also significantly reduces costs and associated CO2 emissions. And thanks to this technology it is possible It can store up to 6000 PET bottles per cubic meter.
Across Italy, RiPET eco-compactors They have a large presence thanks to their collaboration with Coripet., a consortium recognized by the Ministry of Environment. This partnership brought RiPET machines to major distribution chains such as Carrefour, Mercatò, Leroy Merlin, PAM and Conad. Thanks to the Coripet projectoutlets can install an eco compactor donated to their premises free of charge and fully equipped with personalized graphic decoration.

When installed at points of sale, RiPET allows customers to directly experience the power of recycling and the importance of caring for the environment. In addition, customers using eco-compactors will be rewarded with discounts and loyalty points, this further encourages participation and commitment to the circular economy.
Innovation and recycling data
But innovation RiPET it doesn’t end here. Their machines are perfectly compatible with Industry 4.0.. Thanks to data collection and analysis, RiPET devices become even more intelligent and efficient. Imagine a world where machines interact with humans, collecting valuable information to continually improve the recycling process!
The numbers speak for themselves. In collaboration with Coripet, RiPET has installed more than 900 machines throughout Italy that collect more than 14.5 tons of PET plastic daily, equivalent to a total of 5,292,000 tons per year. AND As RiPET continues to expand and evolve, this is just the beginning.
Collaboration with industry leaders
RiPET is not alone in this mission to protect the environment. Important companies such as Coca-Cola HBC Italia and Sibeg joined Coripet and made their choices. RiPET eco compactors for your events.

Events full of style and creativity with recycling as the hero!
Equal nest He decided to embark on this green journey by collaborating with RiPET on an initiative on the beaches of Rimini on the Adriatic coast. There, the most ecological model in the RiPET eco compactor series, «la Ricicletta», shining bright. This bib container, works with pedals and does not need electricity, allows beach-goers to collect and compress PET plastic bottles while enjoying the sun and sea.
How do eco compactors work?
The working mechanism of eco-compression machines is very simple:
1. Benefits for users:
Users are encouraged to participate in the selective collection program by handing the bottles to the compactors. For every 200 points accumulated (equivalent to 200 bottles), users receive discount coupons, promoting active participation and strengthening the ecological awareness of society.
2. Customer loyalty by supermarkets:
Supermarkets and shopping malls that install eco-compactors have the opportunity to establish a solid bond with their customers.. Offering economic benefits in exchange for an ecological gesture, these organizations build consumer loyalty and strengthen their reputation as companies committed to sustainability.
3. Direct marketing of recycled bottles:
RiPET plays a key role in this efficient cycle by purchasing collected bottles and sending them directly to recycling facilities. By selling recycled bottles, RiPET not only promotes the circular economy, but also generates an income that contributes to the viability of the project and allows for the expansion and sustainability of the project.
RiPay: Identification and registration technology
Recognition and identification of users is done through the RiPay application, which generates a unique identification code for each user. Activating the RiPET machine, the eco compactor identifies the bottles delivered by scanning the barcode on the labels, which creates an aggregation data record stored on a central server. This detailed information makes it possible to determine the quantities of packaging collected by each manufacturer.
