Saving billions through recycling: Systemiq report outlines plan to slash PET emissions as demand grows
A new report by strategic advisory group Systemiq has found low circularity rates for PET packaging in the US, and recommends a range of measures — including material reduction and reuse — to improve the industry’s footprint. The findings show that approximately 90% of PET/polyester feedstocks are sent to disposal after one use and 10% mechanically recycled.
