What is PET? Polyethylene terephthalate, abbreviated PET, is found in the polyester family and often used in the production of beverage containers like plastic bottles.
Each year Americans use about 100 billion plastic bags. The oil used to manufacture the product leads to the production of greenhouse gases responsible for global warming, and the bags take thousands of years to biodegrade. According to research only about 1 percent of plastic bags are recycled, meaning that the rest go into landfills or end up in waters where they are killing marine life. There are countless reasons why we, as every day American’s should use reusable bags.
