The PET Plastic Coalition unites North America’s largest PET manufacturers, recyclers, converters, and technology providers—along with the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR)—to advance education, advocacy, and solutions that drive a circular economy. Our goal is to provide fact-based information about PET plastic, address misconceptions, and champion solutions that improve recycling and deliver more sustainable packaging solutions.
The PET Plastic Coalition was founded to inform consumers, businesses, and policymakers about PET plastic and advocate for real-world solutions to improve recycling rates.
We are committed to enhancing collection and recycling systems, reducing plastic waste, and driving innovation in sustainable PET solutions. By working together, we’re ensuring PET remains a safe, affordable, and circular material that meets the daily needs of millions while protecting the environment.
