2022 PET Recycling Report
The 2022 PET Recycling Report marks the 28th year the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) has issued and produced an analysis of postconsumer PET recycling activity in the United States. Founded in 1987, NAPCOR is the trade association for the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic packaging industry in the United States, Canada and Mexico. NAPCOR is dedicated to promoting the PET package; to overcoming hurdles to the successful recycling of PET; and to communicating the attributes of the PET container as a sustainable package.
NAPCOR’s 2022 PET Recycling Report™ will provide you with the aggregated PET bottle recycling rate for North America, a detailed overview of the recycling of injection stretch blow molded PET bottles and jars in United States, a summary of key events and trends in the PET supply chain, and an analysis of PET thermoform markets and recovery.

Availability of Recycling
In 2015-2016, NAPCOR was part of a collaborative industry study led by the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) to assess the availability of recycling programs in the United States and the types of packaging accepted in those programs. The study found that over 90 percent of the U.S. population has PET bottle recycling programs available to them; over 60 percent has non-bottle PET container recycling programs available.
