08 Mar 2023 --- The National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR) has found PET plastic bottles to be more environmentally sustainable than glass and aluminum beverage containers. Plastic packaging made from PET is used in over 70% of beverage containers because it’s lightweight, clear and 100% recyclable. In a recent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the association identified that PET plastic bottles create less solid waste, use less water during production and generate fewer emissions that contribute to acid rain and smog compared to glass and aluminum beverage containers.
