Solar ovens from PET bottles NAPCOR - the National Association for PET Container Resources (the trade association for the PET plastic industry in the United States and Canada) has worked with the Solar Oven Society, a project of the non-profit organization Persons Helping People, to manufacture low-cost, durable, effective solar ovens designed for use in developing countries. Countries that are sun-rich, but fuel-poor can utilize the ovens to cook meats, vegetables, breads and staple-foods, as well as pasteurize water. The ovens were made from recycled PET plastic beer bottles from the 2000 National Recycling Coalition's (NRC) Annual Congress in Charlotte, North Carolina. The containers were collected from hospitality suites, NRC functions, the opening night reception and annual softball game. In addition, beer bottles recycled from Ericsson Stadium (Charlotte, NC) were also used for production. Approximately 65 20-oz. PET plastic bottles (5 lbs.) are used to make each oven.
