RPET and the Circular Economy

  • The circular economy looks beyond the current “Take, Make, Dispose” linear consumption pattern.
  • Changing to a circular model helps reduce waste and pollution, whilst keeping products and materials in use.
  • A circular approach also helps decouple plastics manufacturing from the consumption of petroleum-based resources.

What is PET?

  • PET resin (or Polyethylene Terephthalate) is one of the most commonly used thermoplastics.
  • It plays an important role in everyday life and is used to make a wide range of packaging.
  • It’s also the most recycled plastic globally and is easily recognizable by the “1” symbol on most packaging types.
