Why Choose PET Bottles?

Plastic bottles - Surprisingly Sustainable.

Infinitely recyclable, lightweight and low greenhouse gas emissions: PET isn’t just the most recycled plastic in the world, it’s Surprisingly Sustainable.

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles have the lowest emissions because of their lightweight properties and the low amount of energy required to produce them. Research shows, aluminum cans and glass bottles are more energy intensive to produce. In North America, aluminum cans have two times the emissions of PET bottles and glass bottles have three times the emissions.
