Giving Back - a promise from Terra Polyester S.A. de C.V.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT Plastic PET bottles are an environmental problem in many countries. In third world countries, due to the heat, the consumption of soft drinks is very high, therefore PET consumption is high. The amount of collecting versus what goes to the dumps is high.
The advantage of Third world countries is the percentage of collection is MUCH HIGHER than in industrialized countries. This is a benefit for the environment and land fills in those countries.
HELPING THE POOR Thousands of families make a living from collecting from dumps and homes a wide variety of waste, including PET bottles.

The above graph tells an unfortunate story. We're using more and more plastic bottles, and we're throwing more and more of them in the dump. Plastic waste takes a long, long time to biodegrade, and recent research has shown that if it end up in bays or oceans, plastic can break up into micro-sized plastic particles and contaminate the marine food chain. We can do better!
