PET Recycling Reports
The leading resource for PET Recycling and industry data
2024 PET Recycling Report available now!
For thirty years, NAPCOR has produced an annual report that serves as the definitive record of polyethylene terephthalate (PET, #1 resin identification code) recycling activity. Based on a comprehensive survey of PET recyclers in the US and Canada, the 2024 PET Recycling Report provides the official PET bottle recycling rates in the United States and North America, a clear view of key trends shaping the PET recycling landscape, and an in-depth look at the PET industry’s performance, challenges, and opportunities.
In this 30th anniversary year, we decided to refine the report—focusing on what is essential, meaningful, and most valuable to members, policymakers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders who rely on this report each year. The result is the most focused PET Recycling Report we have ever produced—one that honors 30 years of data-driven insight while meeting the needs of today’s rapidly changing recycling and packaging landscape.
