The present invention relates to a PET bottle shrinkage device of a recyclable separation compressor for reducing the volume of a PET bottle and storing the PET bottle in a reduced volume.

Some foods, including various drinks, are supplied in a container of a certain size, and the material of the packaging container for storing each food and beverage is configured differently depending on the contents stored. For example, canned products, such as tuna, which have a relatively long shelf life, are stored in steel cans containing iron as a main ingredient, and beverage products such as soft drinks are stored in aluminum cans or plastic containers. In the case of dairy products such as milk is stored in a container made of glass, paper, synthetic resin material, in the case of liquor is mainly stored in a glass bottle. The plastic container at this time is often called PET bottles.
