Brief Summary on PC PET Container Recycling in the US
The PETrecycling.cz assessment based on R&D up-to-day results is, that it should be made clear, that all beverage containers, e.g. PET bottles, ALU cans and glass bottles, should be included in return systems with deposits - to encourage the consumers to take the bottles back

"Finally, as is mentioned a number of times in this report, there is a growing difference between the amount of PET bottles collected for recycling in the US and the capacity of reclamation plants to process them into material suitable for remanufacture."

2006 marked the first year in which more of the PET bottles collected for recycling went to export markets than stayed in the US.

Ultimately, depending on and allowing foreign markets to harvest the value of a recyclable such as PET bottles does not make good sense.

Particularly as the issue of sustainability continues to gain attention and focus, the notion of moving bottles all over the world based on currency values will be increasingly hard to justify. Yet, if the processing capacity does not exist, where are the bottles to go? The question of why the US reclamation industry has been eroding during the last few years is perplexing, particularly when these years have been among the most profitable. Hopefully, the reawakening of environmental concerns will be the catalyst necessary to stimulate some world-class investment in the US.
