<\/span><\/h2>\nMany myths have been created about PET bottles and their impact on the environment. Below is a handful of information on this topic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Many people believe that PET bottles are a major contributor to environmental litter<\/strong>. Some of us point to the packaging scattered in various places. However, the vast majority of the problem is not caused by the bottles themselves, but by improper waste management. To prevent this, PET bottles are subject to charge deposit in some countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- PET bottles can be recycled, so we reuse them and waste is reduced to a minimum<\/strong>. In comparison, paper can be recycled up to five times. Glass recycling, on the other hand, generates higher costs and leads to higher emissions – the melting point of glass is as high as 1200-1300 \u00b0C.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- PET bottles are lightweight, much lighter than glass bottles<\/strong>. This makes the transportation of PET packaging more economical, using less fuel. Transporting PET bottles is also less harmful to the environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
