Positively PET

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) differs from other plastics. PET plastic bottles and containers are safe, lightweight, resealable, shatter-resistant, less harmful to the environment than aluminum or glass, and fully recyclable. The world’s most recycled plastic, Americans collect more than 1.9 billion pounds of PET every year.

Leading the Way on the Environment

The PET industry has a longstanding commitment to sustainability and is doing more than ever to protect our environment. For example, engineers are designing PET packaging with circularity in mind. But caring consumers like you can make sure products made from PET don’t end up in our landfills or waterways.
