PET Closed Loop Recycling - who needs virgin pet?

PET is one of the easiest materials to recycle (with the right process). Every bottle or clam shell made from PET can be recycled into another bottle or clamshell again, over and over. Single use packaging materials such as PET can be re-used in a circular process; there is no technical reason for not increasing the PET recycling content and reduce our usage of virgin PET. Your production waste can be dramatically decreased with the use of these closed loop recycling methods. See in the video an example for such an operation.
