Blue educational graphic from NAPCOR and Positively PET reading โLET US RECYCLE.โ It features a classroom photo of a teacher with elementary students and the #1 PET resin identification symbol. Text explains that if each student recycled one PET plastic bottle per day (#1 in the triangle), a typical school would recycle about 432 bottles daily. Across 52,000 US elementary schools over a full school year, that would total 106 million pounds of recycled PET for new products, avoiding COโ emissions equal to burning 7 million gallons of gasoline. Includes a link to PositivelyPET.org/pet-life-cycle-assessment-report-2023 and a QR code.
