Whyshould youchoose rPET?
Although reducing the amount of plastic we as a society use has significant benefits, keeping plastic already produced in circulation is also extremely important. Recycling PET may not solve all our problems, but there are many good reasons to choose recycled PET over virgin PET.
By choosing to buy recycled PET, you support the recycling industry and helping to create a market for recycled plastics.
Buying products from companies that use rPET is like using your power for good. By doing so, you are voting with your dollars and supporting businesses that embrace sustainable practices and drive innovation.
Using rPET removes the requirement for extracting virgin materials, thus reducing the energy consumption and carbon footprint.
rPET uses plastic waste that would otherwise end up in a landfill or, worse, polluting the environment. When left in landfills, plastics can take thousands of years to break down. When they do break down, they will tend to break into smaller pieces that can do even more harm if released into the environment.
