PET bottle recycling rates across the US reached record levels in 2023, according to the National Association for PET Container Resources’ (NAPCOR) latest 2023 PET Recycling Report. Laura Stewart, NAPCOR’s executive director, tells Packaging Insights that NAPCOR saw a modest increase (2.7%) in collection over 2022, driven by gains in material supplied through curbside collection to PET recyclers.
