The PET Plastic Coalition works 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 innovations that improve recycling and deliver more sustainable packaging.
The PET Plastic Coalition unites leaders across the PET plastic value chain – manufacturers, recyclers, converters, and technology providers – together with the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR). We provide consumers, businesses, and policymakers with credible, fact-based insights about PET plastic and promote solutions that strengthen circularity.
We are committed to expanding PET bottle collection, improving recycling infrastructure, and supporting innovations that reduce waste and environmental impact. By working together across the value chain, we help ensure PET remains a safe, affordable, and circular material that meets everyday needs while protecting the environment.
