Hover to view more
PET bottles, or polyethylene terephthalate bottles, are plastic containers widely used for
packaging beverages such as water, soft drinks, and juices. Despite their convenience and
widespread use, PET bottles pose significant environmental challenges. When not properly
disposed of or recycled, they contribute to plastic pollution, which can harm wildlife and
ecosystems. Moreover, the production and degradation of PET bottles release harmful
chemicals and greenhouse gases, further impacting environmental and human health,
necessitating the need to recycle bottles

Plastic Containers = Prosthetic Limbs: By grinding the plastic bottles down we could use the
granulated material to spinpolyester yarns, which can be heated to form a lightweight, solid
material to mold into prosthetic limbs.
