The PET bottle, in addition to transforming the beverage industry, also changed our habits drastically thanks to its easy adaptability. However, in recent years, environmental problems have been directly related to the excessive use of plastic. Therefore, the multiple benefits that this material offers us (especially to satisfy the needs of our consumers) were overshadowed.
It is very important to mention that one of the main functions of PET bottles is that they are reusable due to their long durability. Our obligation as consumers is to recycle and reuse plastic containers responsibly to prevent them from becoming garbage.
PET, What is it?
Polyethylene terephthalate, better known as PET, by its English name (polyethylene terephthalate), is one of the most used materials to manufacture plastic containers and bottles. This type of material is characterized by being crystalline, light, flexible, and significantly resistant.
Benefits for the environment
A very interesting feature that few people know, since they associate plastic with something harmful, is that bottles and any other PET container are 100% recyclable, so it is essential to be aware of all the benefits that this material offers us and not automatically classify it as something negative.
Another feature in favor of the environment is that the PET bottle requires less energy and less water for its manufacture and recycling compared to metals, glass, paper, or cardboard. PET has been shown to have a lower carbon footprint than the other materials already mentioned. Finally, in addition to all these benefits to the environment, they allow the product to be delivered to the consumer at a lower price because it is a cheaper material.
Everyone's responsibility
Therefore, it is our responsibility to manage waste conscientiously and prevent PET containers and any other plastic from becoming harmful to the environment.
