To support the principles of a
circular economy, however, there is
a clear need to increase the use of
recycled PET (rPET) and reduce our
carbon footprint; but achieving this
is not without its challenges.
We offer solutions that
allow for higher use rates while
also reducing carbon emissions,
helping to improve the sustainability
of the PET bottle and drive the
circular economy.
