Plastic Is a Minor Prince of the Kingdom

Think of those clear plastic water and beverage bottles and you are almost right. That type of clear plastic—PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic—makes up about 95% of this category. Clear plastic cups and packaging, such as on retail products, accounts for the remaining 5%.  It also gives businesses the opportunity to make money off of their rubber scrap.

Although it is a popular recycling program, plastics recycling is far from being as successful as the other leading materials.

Considering estimates that it can take up to 500 years for PET plastics to decompose in a landfill, these facts show how much more we can do as plastics consumers.

North America produces about 5,500 million pounds of PET plastic jars and bottles yearly, but only about 250 million pounds are recycled for producing food and beverage containers
The plastics industry claims PET plastics have a 29.9% recycling rate, but ...
Only about 9% of PET plastics in our municipal waste streams, (garbage and recycling collection), are recycled for reuse. About 15% are combusted for energy generation, and the remaining 75% end up in landfills.
North Americans throw away, (not recycle), about 35 billion plastic bottles every year.
