Recycling PET is good for the environment
To date, recycling PET bottles has saved over 1 million tonnes of carbon, avoided using almost 5 million m3 of landfill space and reduced resource consumption. Recycling plastic bottles decreases the need for raw materials and saves energy. Recycling a single tonne of plastic bottles saves 1.5 tonnes of carbon versus landfilling or incineration.
