Let's talk about rPET ♻️ PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is widely used for plastic drink containers and packaging because of its versatility and durability. However, making PET from scratch uses a lot of oil – about a quarter of a liter for just one bottle. rPET is the circular alternative. It's made from recycled PET bottles and containers, cutting down on the need for new raw materials. This means a much smaller carbon footprint and 79% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Impressively, a single PET bottle can be recycled up to 20 times (maybe even more)! Here’s why rPET matters: 🔄 rPET reduces the demand for virgin plastic, conserving energy and raw materials. 🌍 Utilizing rPET minimizes plastic waste in landfills and oceans, contributing to a cleaner planet. 📉 The production of rPET emits significantly less CO2 compared to virgin PET, aiding in the fight against climate change. At TOMRA, we are dedicated to transforming waste into valuable resources like rPET. By this circular alternative, we’re not just recycling – we’re revolutionizing the lifecycle of plastics.
