PET bottles are not waste. A PET plastic bottle has many potential after life uses and its status as one of the most used plastic packaging materials in the world is due to its performance qualities and its highly recyclable nature. Packaging made with PET is easy to spot as well. Just look for the #1 symbol to make sure that your plastic is 100% recyclable.
PET can be heated and moulded into a variety of shapes, but the most recognisable is the plastic water and beverage bottles that provide clean, safe and convenient ways of packaging drinks. PET's low melting temperature, relative to alternatives such as glass and aluminium, makes it easy and sustainable to turn PET packaging into more PET packaging in a closed loop.
Every year billions of PET bottles are being collected across Europe, before being compressed into bales and sent to recycling plants. The success of collection schemes is central to getting the most out of this unique material. Deposit schemes are a great way of helping consumers understand the value of PET and that not all plastic packaging is the same.
