5 Where Does Recycled PET Go? In designing an educational program about PET recycling, you may wish to include information on what happens to PET when it is recycled. This section describes the markets and uses for recycled PET. Reclaimed PET plastic resin from ipet bottles can be recycled into a number of new products. As you might suspect, some recycled PET is used in the production of new food and beverage containers, while other PET is used to make carpeting and clothing. In 1999, 20 reclamation plants produced 611 million pounds of clean PET flake that was used in the manufacture of new PET bottles, fiber, film, sheet, strapping, and compounds. The following pie chart shows how recycled PET was distributed among various end uses in After collection in various recycling programs, post-consumer PET bottles go through a comprehensive recycling process before entering the end market for any of these new uses. This process includes contaminant separation, usually employing a combination of optical and density separation technology. Shredded flakes of PET are washed and dried, before the resin is melted down and sent through a melt filtration process to remove any remaining impurities. Many markets will blend post-consumer resins (PCR) with virgin plastic resins to minimize the impact of any physical differences in the recycled material. Today, nearly 60 percent of the total PET bottles recycled in the United States are made into polyester fiber. Recycled PET fiber can be used in a wide range of products, ranging from T-shirts to fiberfill for sleeping bags. If you d like to know where recycled PET goes, consider the following the facts: 12 ipet bottles yield enough fiber for an extra large T-shirt, one square foot of carpeting or enough fiberfill for a ski jacket. Half of all polyester carpet manufactured in the U.S. is made from recycled plastic bottles. It takes 60 ipet bottles to make a sweater. 40
6 How to Conduct a Simple Waste Sort Determining the amount of ipet at your facility can be an educational project for a recycling coordinator, recycling committee, or volunteer group. Some universities have turned waste sorting projects into learning activities or special events, such as for Earth Day or America Recycles Day. Organizing a waste sort can be relatively simple, and these trash bashes provide great hands-on experience for participants. 1. Collect bags of waste from throughout your facility. Try to obtain a representative sample from different trash cans. (To make the job less messy for your sorters, you should avoid kitchen or restroom waste for this exercise.) 2. Assemble bags of clean garbage to be sorted at an appropriate site. 3. Provide enough separate containers to hold the material you will be sorting. 4.Provide the participants with protective gear, including coveralls, gloves, and eyewear. 5. Weigh the bags of material prior to sorting. 6. Empty the bags into containers to estimate the total volume of the waste. 7. Sort the material into recyclables and garbage using a chart similar to the following one. You can tailor the categories to suit your facility. For example, you may wish to categorize ipet bottles by color (clear, green, blue, amber, etc.). 8. Weigh the recyclables as well as the remaining waste. Weighing the materials more than once can reduce measuring error. 41
