Probably the biggest PET recycling (not down cycling) project ever…? I think materials circular economy is on the cusp of a boom.

Reminds of the flood of big Li-ion battery project announcements a few years back, competing with gas peakers. Infrastructure changes are like Hemingway bankruptcy. Happens in 2 ways: gradually, then suddenly.

Though plastics waste (and microplastics pollution and potential endocrine disruption crisis) is far less urgent than decarbonization, I suspect things will move much faster because public cares way more, like 1000x more. Kinda like visible homelessness vs invisible poverty.

I’m told PET is the best of the plastics for externalities, so the equivalent of “electrify everything” in plastics is “PETify everything.”
