Alternative for improving PET plastic recycling
rates Deposit-refund schemes have been
successfully incorporated in developed
countries. Should México follow the same
sustainable solution?

Waste collection facilities in Mexico PET
However, two problems have to be addressed before
PET waste is re-processed...

Problem 1 International Price fo Recycled

Problem 2 Landfill scenario
The fact that a sustainable solution (such as
deposit-refund) performs well in a developed
