Introduction to PET Recycling
PET recycling has become a vital part of sustainability efforts worldwide. PET, or polyethylene terephthalate, is a versatile plastic used extensively in packaging, particularly for bottles and containers. However, the environmental impact of PET waste is significant, making its recycling crucial for a sustainable future. The transition to recycled PET (rPET) not only helps reduce landfill waste but also decreases reliance on virgin plastic production, conserving resources and lowering carbon emissions.
