PET thermoform recovery across the U.S. and Canada surged to 264 million pounds in 2024, marking a 52% increase from 2023. Despite this leap, the industry faces a circularity gap: yield losses, label and lid contamination, and lacking curbside collections hinder progress. These realities leave virgin resin dominating the market, making up 79% of thermoform feedstock.
