PET recycling up slightly in 2012    

   

The "Report on Postconsumer PET Container Recycling Activity in 2012" was released publicly on October 9 in conjunction with the APR meeting. Plastics News,  Resource Recycling and other trade publications noted the uptick in the rate, to an all-time high of 30.8%.   

 

The report is now posted on the reports page of the NAPCOR web site, where you'll also find the rate reports for the preceding thirteen years.
