Plastics have been in the news a lot lately. But not all plastics are the same. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles and containers are safe, lightweight, resealable, and shatter-resistant. Best of all, many PET bottles and containers are fully recyclable. Americans collect over 1.9 billion pounds of PET every year, making it the world’s most widely recovered plastic.
