17 Jun 2022 --- The Recycling Partnership is introducing the PET Recycling Coalition, an initiative informed by industry knowledge and expertise to improve PET circularity. The US-based coalition comes as part of The Recycling Partnership’s pathway to circularity and aims to advance the circular economy for all packaging. The coalition is supported by and open to members representing all segments of the material’s value chain, including founding committee members Eastman, Indorama Ventures, Procter & Gamble (P&G), and the Walmart Foundation.“Recycled PET (rPET) is an extremely useful material when used and reused responsibly,” says Mark Agerton, group scientist from P&G’s responsible packaging R&D team. “This PET coalition is a partnership to help provide the essential funding and innovations needed to increase recycling rates and drive true circularity of non-desired plastics.”
