Japan’s 15% PET Bottle Rule Is Redefining Circularity and Forcing the World to Rethink How (and Who) Makes Recycling Possible
Japan’s 15% PET Bottle Rule Is Redefining Circularity and Forcing the World to Rethink How (and Who) Makes Recycling Possible

From January 2026, PET beverage bottles sold in Japan will be required to contain at least 15% recycled plastic by weight to receive official certification. Along with this, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has mandated a new set of design criteria: bottles must be colourless, labels must be easily separable, and caps must exclude PVC.

Circular Packaging for Modern Procurement: Solving the Plastic Problem Profitably
Circular Packaging for Modern Procurement: Solving the Plastic Problem Profitably

Plastic is one of the most versatile and cost-effective packaging materials ever developed. It’s lightweight, durable, and scalable. But we’re managing it like a single-use liability rather than a long-term asset.

Currently, less than 20% of global plastic waste is recycled. The rest ends up in landfills, incinerators, or worse leaking into the environment. That’s more than a sustainability issue; it’s a glaring failure in resource utilization and material recovery.
