Using recycled PET plastic ♳ generates 59% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than virgin (new) PET. But we can't recycle what we don't collect.💡Learn why better #recycling means less waste, lower emissions, & stronger US manufacturing: positivelypet.org/blog/pet-rec... #PETForward #CircularEconomy

Infographic titled “PET Plastic Recycling Infrastructure is Climate Infrastructure” illustrating plastic bottles moving through collection, sorting, recycling, and manufacturing to become new recycled PET packaging: consumers return or recycle PET bottles; collection programs capture bottles; sorting facilities separate PET from other materials; reclaimers wash and process recovered PET; and manufacturers use recycled PET to make new bottles. Five circular photos surround a central recycling symbol, emphasizing how recycling infrastructure supports a circular economy. NAPCOR and Positively PET logos appear at the bottom.

For brands, retailers, policymakers, & others across the PET plastic value chain ♳, NAPCOR’s new #PETForward Roadmap offers a practical framework to advance PET packaging performance, circularity, & climate progress together. Learn more: napcor.com/sustainabili... #PickPET #CircularEconomy

NAPCOR and Positively PET infographic titled “PET Forward: A Decarbonization Roadmap for the PET Packaging Value Chain.” It shows a practical path for the US PET plastic industry to lower emissions: approximately 57% lower emissions intensity and 42% lower total annual emissions by 2050; the latter is equivalent to taking approximately 323,000 gas-powered passenger vehicles off the road. Strategies include increasing collection and recycling, using more recycled PET and renewable energy, continuing lightweighting, advancing efficiency and innovation, and strengthening policy and infrastructure. The infographic also outlines actions for brands and notes that the roadmap is grounded in rigorous, ISO-compliant analysis. Call to action: napcor.com/sustainability.

Blue educational graphic from NAPCOR and Positively PET reading “LET US RECYCLE.” It features a classroom photo of a teacher with elementary students and the #1 PET resin identification symbol. Text explains that if each student recycled one PET plastic bottle per day (#1 in the triangle), a typical school would recycle about 432 bottles daily. Across 52,000 US elementary schools over a full school year, that would total 106 million pounds of recycled PET for new products, avoiding CO₂ emissions equal to burning 7 million gallons of gasoline.
