SA PET Industry Hits New High with 2.15 Billion Bottles Recycled - PETCO
Published on by Janine Osborne, Stakeholders Relations Manager at PETCO in Business
According to the PETCO, water shortages in the Western Cape had seen an increased consumer demand for bottled water during the latter part of the year, which grew the waste volumes available for recycling in this region.
Despite tough trading conditions and a 13% fall in the total PET market, the South African plastic industry recycled a record 2.15 billion PET plastic bottles in 2017, setting a post-consumer recycling rate of 65% of PET bottles to put the country on par with international standards.
