P2O Works on PET

When John Bordynuik was questioned about P2O being able to work efficiently with PET, he indicated in the affirmative, pointing out that the essential PET catalyst was completed. Following is an iHub post from a JBII shareholder "D3ling"

I asked JB about this and he says the PET catalyst is done.
That said, I did some research about american pastic consumption and found a link somewhere that had 165 bottles of water per american per year.

# Americans throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. Edit, I see steed found the same info, get out of my head steed!!!
# Every year, Americans make enough plastic film to shrink-wrap the state of Texas.

Every American uses almost 200 pounds of plastic in a year--60 pounds of it for packaging.(study from UOregon.edu)

More than 2.4 billion pounds of plastic bottles were recycled in 2008. Although the amount of plastic bottles recycled in the U.S. has grown every year since 1990, the actual recycling rate remains steady at around 27 percent(Earth911.com).

Over 16 million tons of plastic waste is generated annually in the U.S. and about 2.2% o of all plastics is currently recycled. (62)
