This study aimed to evaluate recycling networks for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) packaging and propose a network structure for sharing recycling routes between different production units, using the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan region as a case study. A descriptive design was used and field research conducted to gather data on the recycling process. Participants were production units, classified as distributors, distribution recyclers, intermediate recyclers, and molding recyclers. A georeferencing program established the location of these units, origin of the PET waste, its distribution, and the structure of integration networks between recycling units considering the supplier-customer relationship, in order to assess the reverse logistics of post-consumer PET.
