India recycles 90% of its PET waste study by CSIR

摘要

The concern for Recycled PET (RPET) has escalated in the recent years. PET bottles, which form the major market of PET packaging resin (94%), are the most important from the point of recycling. More than 90% of PET is consumed in food packaging with drinks/beverages forming almost 80% of the food packaging segment. Since drinks and beverages are consumed mostly in residential houses, railway stations, restaurants, entertainment venues, airports and other public places, the importance of organized collection and recycling of post-consumer PET bottles needs to be over emphasized.
