Let’s talk PET – As of January 2026, more than 25% of U.S. recycled PET capacity is already shut down as imports now supply roughly 25% of the market. Shuttered because domestic demand is too weak. At the same time, new EPR laws are expected to push roughly 20% more recycled PET into a system that is shrinking instead of scaling. If domestic demand isn’t addressed, the outcome for the U.S. PET system is clear. More imports, less economic viability at home, and policies missing the mark they were designed to hit. This webinar is a reality check, delivered directly from recycling leaders in the trenches of this situation.
