Recycled PET Products
Recycled PET is a valuable raw material with millions of pounds used annually in the production of new packaging and other goods in the US and Canada.

A sustainable package must first serve its essential function: to protect its content, delivering it safely with all of its taste, color, form and other features intact, thereby limiting waste through product damage and spoilage. PET does all this and more.
PET packaging is increasingly lightweight so products can be shipped efficiently, enabling lighter secondary packaging, and reducing fuel requirements and greenhouse gas emissions during product transport.
Meanwhile, consumers are doing their part by recycling more than 3 billion pounds of PET annually in North America—valuable raw material that goes directly back into domestic recycling and into the production of new PET packaging and other products.
The specific impacts of both virgin and recycled PET can be measured through Life Cycle Analysis studies and through comparative metrics and social impact studies. That’s how we know that the environmental and economic impacts of PET recycling are impressive. How impressive? If each person in a city of about 200,000 people—Providence, Rhode Island, for example—recycles just one PET water bottle per day, here’s what happens when this recycled material is processed for use as a raw material.
