The Recycling Partnership is pleased to announce the launch of its PET Recycling Coalition, an initiative informed by industry knowledge and expertise to improve PET (plastic #1) circularity. Its work will focus on addressing four key opportunities to increase recycling of this valuable material:
- Increasing the capture of PET bottles
- Broadening the acceptance of PET trays, cups, and clamshells in community recycling collection programs
- Unlocking new supplies of recycled PET (rPET) for packaging manufacturers
- Strengthening recycling systems for pigmented and opaque PET
