Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic, particularly in the food and beverage industry, because of its recyclability, lightweight properties, and durability. Using Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) Recognized solutions means that the rPET feedstock remains high-quality, improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the recycling process.

In addition, organizations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Alliance to End Plastic Waste (AEPW) have emerged to foster meaningful sustainability improvements by mobilizing manufacturers and brands. For example, Avient is a founding member of the AEPW, and also participates in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s UK Plastics Pact.
