From the text: "A full 87% of all collected plastic bottles were therefore recycled into new beverage bottles in 2022." The used plastic is recycled multiple times: "PET plastic bottles are also good materials for many other products, but it is best when they become new beverage bottles. This preserves the high quality of the plastic so that it can be reused again and again" Why did you write that they "can't be used for the same thing" when even wikipedia says its happens?

Good for danemark but I would still take this information with precaution. PET which is the most common type of plastic for bottles but loose it's propriety after 2-3 cycle. It's not recyclable forever like glasses. That means your bottle of water will be a bottle of water max 2-3 times until it's not possible to use this plastic again for making bottle. Wikipedia is not contradicting this, PET is reused in a mix of brand new plastic and old one.
