Because after being recovered, plastic can be turned into items with value, and technology is easy to acquire, this makes plastic bottles one of the recyclable products to which industry can adapt itself most quickly. This has caused bottles to be listed as the first product to be recycled in the EPA list relcased in June of this year.
由於回收後能轉換成有價物質，回收技術又易取得，使得寶特瓶成為各項廢棄物回收中業者配合腳步最快的一項，也使環保署能在今年六月首先公告回收清除處理辦法，以寶特瓶作為跑第一棒的回收物品。
