[GreenYes] which is greener - HDPE or PET?

["Eric Lombardi" <eric@no.address>]

I have been asked by a major food producer and packager which plastic,
HDPE or PET, would be better for them to use.  They were wondering
whether or not anyone has done a life-cycle assessment comparing the
two?   I think this is an important and timely question
considering the moratorium on "bioplastic bottles" that some (including
Eco-Cycle) have called for.

Any help in answering this would be appreciated, and if you have any
valuable feedback on this, please post it for the list to see as well,
Eric
