At Evergreen, we’re in business to change the world. Evergreen was originally founded in 1998 to provide a sustainable, reliable supply of quality polyester resin. Each year, Evergreen recycles billions of PET bottles, keeping them out of landfills, oceans, rivers, forests, and roadways. We also produce hundreds of millions of pounds of recycled PET plastic that goes into new bottles and other products. There’s another important side to Evergreen. We partner with municipal and commercial recycling facilities as well as business and industrial customers, accepting recyclable material and offering rebates for PET bottles and other PET material. This material is then sorted and made ready for other uses. The end goal is to make landfills a thing of the past, help customers achieve sustainability goals and make the circular economy possible for all of us.
