Recycling is at an interesting point in the U.S. On one hand, you've got major brands such as Coca-Cola Co. and Nestle pledging to move to 100 percent recycled PET. (And to top those bottles, post-consumer high density polyethylene is going into caps made by Berry Global Group Inc. and Coke's Dasani brand.) On the other hand, virgin PET is cheap, which means that post-consumer recycled material isn't the best "business" choice if you're just counting pennies. Independently, of course, even a company the size of Coca-Cola can't create the infrastructure for recycling. So industry leaders are trying to figure out how to support the recycling process, as Plastics Industry Association CEO Tony Radoszewski said in an interview with PN's Steve Toloken.
