The corporation is going to be a recycling center of PET that will provide the recycle material to all the companies that need PET as a raw material in their production processes.
It is big opportunity because the demand on the market of products made of PET is growing and for that motive, the company seeks to eliminate the amount of waste product by through the recycling process.

This market is not really exploded because the potential market is of 700 million dls, and that only represent the 15% of the 500,000 million tons of PET that we throw away every year.
Another advantage is that the market in this sector is subsidized by the large companies that produce most of the products of PET.
The company has a lot of future because the production of products of this material is growing, and because is going to be a company that none of our processes damage the environment.
Also we will do a good to the environment because the advantages of the plastics products convert in disadvantages when we throw them away, because it a non-biodegradable material.

After doing all that process you pack all the flakes and sell them as a raw
