Notorious P.E.T

What really happens to your rubbish after it has been collected? P.E.T aka polyethylene terephthalate is a form of polyester which is commonly used in fabrics for clothing, plastic bottles and containers for packaging foods and beverages. Every year plastic is produced by the tonnes, most of which is never recycled and ends up on our lands or at sea. Eventually the plastics enter our ecosystems and onto our plate.
