This household material is indestructible

DID YOU KNOW

It takes an average plastic bottle 450 years to start decomposing and another 50 - 80 years before it decomposes fully. That means that every single piece of plastic produced has not decomposed yet!
Polyethylene terephthalate, or PET is nearly indestructible but care must be taken that this very same advantage doesn't become the undoing of our environment. The key is to dispose properly and encourage recycling. Studies have shown that recycling plastics can save up to 2/3 of the needed energy for producing plastic from raw materials.
