A method for manufacturing a heat sealable polyester film is provided. A part of a recycled polyester material is physically reproduced to obtain physically regenerated polyester chips. Another part of a recycled polyester material is chemically reproduced to obtain chemically regenerated polyester chips. Modified polyester chips, the physically regenerated polyester chips and the chemically regenerated polyester chips are mixed to form a raw material mixture, and the modified polyester chips are formed from the recycled polyester material. The raw material mixture is used to form a heat sealable layer. A base layer is disposed onto the heat sealable layer so as to obtain the heat sealable polyester film. A heat sealing temperature of the heat sealable polyester film ranges from 120° C. to 230° C.
