Abstract
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a powerhouse in beverage packaging, primarily as single-use plastic water bottles. While it's recyclable and ranks as the third most used plastic in food packaging, challenges remain in the market for recycled PET (rPET) due to its higher costs compared to virgin PET. This talk delved into the efficiency of PET in reducing carbon footprints, comparing it to alternative materials and manufacturing processes for beverage containers.
