There is a common misperception that plastics use a large amount of the world’s oil.
4% of global oil production is used to make all forms of plastic. In using those plastics oil is saved by reducing transport weight, by thermally insulating buildings and by using less energy to manufacture other materials.
PET is only 1% of all plastic produced. Every time a PET container is recycled, its petroleum feedstocks are recaptured.
PET is a remarkably energy-efficient packaging material. The environmental impact of PET is very favourable in comparison to glass, aluminium, and other container materials.
PET is the preferred material for many types of packaging. PET confers the benefits of light weight and low material usage, giving raw material and energy savings whilst contributing to better packaging environmental performance.
