There is a distinct trend towards lightweight packaging in the current plastic bottle industry and the demand for PET bottle packaging. The interest has never been higher, Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle packaging, which is part of the polyester family, is looking strong as consumers and businesses increasingly look for agile but durable solutions for their packaging demands. PET packaging offers a range of advantages as outlined below:

Benefits of PET Packaging

  1. Fully recyclable
  2. Shock resistant: PET bottles don’t smash or break making them safer for consumers
  3. Size and weight: PET bottles are considerably smaller and lightweight, so they store easily and travel well
  4. Design versatility: PET bottles can be easily produced in a range of colours
  5. Sustainable: PET packaging increases the shelf life of contents due to its excellent barrier characteristics. Organic products and cosmetics packed in PET last longer as this type of material forms a sufficient barrier against temperature and UV light

Fully Recyclable

PET plastic can be fully recycled across the UK & Europe. The symbol on the side or bottom of the bottle tells recyclable plants which plastic it is and where to position the bottles for washing (Washing is a term used by recycling plants to break recycled plastic). This identifies the type of plastic resin used to make the item by providing a ‘Resin Identification Code’. It is represented with a ‘chasing arrows’ symbol surrounding the number between 1 and 7 that defines the resin used.
