From Crisis to Correction: How Industry Can Stabilize PET Recycling

The U.S. PET recycling system is at a breaking point.

Reclaimer capacity has shrunk by more than 25%, imports have risen 300%, and Evergreen’s shutdown — North America’s third‑largest reclaimer — took another 4 billion bottles of annual capacity offline, intensifying instability across the rPET market. 

Our next webinar goes beyond diagnosing the problem: We’ll dig into what industry leaders can do now to stabilize the system, protect domestic supply, and chart a path for the next 6–12 months. 

If Webinar #1 raised the alarm, this one drives the response. 

Join us to learn what’s at stake, what’s possible, and how we can rebuild a resilient PET recycling system together.
