Dan Bahou, VP of Marketing for Global PET, explained how products like PET plastic contain an unlimited supply of energy that we can keep recycling unlimited amounts of times.  Once a plastic becomes recycled plastic, its value has increased with the amount of energy saved using a product that is already plastic, and does not have to be made into plastic from new raw materials.  Recycled plastic uses 8 times LESS energy than making from oil. Daniel Cotte, CEO of Naya Waters, the world's first company to offer a bottle made 100% from plastic that had already been recycled with no new plastic used.  They're up to 97% overall operational recycle rate, and fill the bottle with some of the rarest and purest water in the world.
