“PET“ is the acronym for Polyethylene terephthalate, and is translated to Spanish as terephthalate of polyethylene. It is a polymer belonging to the polyester family and is a material composed of different synthetic fibers made, based from petroleum. PET is primarily used to make plastic bottles of different shapes and sizes, which are required by various beverage industry companies. It has become a widely used material due to its versatility and malleability, and can be formed into any shape. However, the problem with the PET is that since its invention in the 1970s, the growing and exponential use of PET has resulted in it being found in overwhelming amounts on the planet, leading to significant pollution as it often ends up as waste that floats in oceans, rivers, lakes, and lagoons. PET is a material that can be reused to make bottles and can also be recycled to form synthetic fibers. Since the 1980s, it has been used mainly to make textile fibers, which are then used to make clothing, shoes, belts, carpets, nets, and many other uses and applications. In this work, a technical and economic investigation is carried out that justifies the creation of a PET recycling plant in the form of flakes, to export to the Chinese market, which has a high demand for this raw material. This contributes to the fight against environmental pollution by avoiding significant amounts of waste in the country, and also benefits the economy by improving the balance of trade with the generation of income as result from exports.
