Lightweight and returnable PET bottle with high recyclate content

Source:Adsale Plastics Network Date :2020-08-04 Editor :JK

Together with Austrian packaging expert ALPLA, KHS has now developed a returnable PET container that at 55 grams is very light. The 1.0-liter bottle’s high recyclate content of 35% also has a positive effect on its overall ecobalance.

 

By optimizing the bottle base and neck the packaging experts managed to considerably cut down on weight compared to conventional returnable PET containers. At 55 grams, on average the 1.0-liter bottle is ten grams lighter than its standard counterparts.

The new 1.0-liter returnable PET bottle from KHS and ALPLA is made of up to 35% recyclate.


Compared to glass containers it clocks up just a tenth of the weight on the scales. “This optimization means that the amount of material used is much lower. At the same time, fuel consumption and thus also CO2 emissions drop during transportation,” explained Arne Wiese, Bottles & Shapes product manager at the KHS Group..

 

Despite less use of materials the returnable system is ideal for a high circulation. The PET bottle has good resistance to caustic, meaning that its quality and appearance are maintained even after numerous washing cycles.

 

The aspects of easy recyclability and the use of recyclate also played a major role in the bottle’s development. The environmentally-friendly returnable container is not only fully recyclable and thus remains in the recycling loop; its high recyclate content is also compelling.

 

The optimized preforms can be blown on all KHS stretch blow molders for returnable containers. These include the particularly resource-saving InnoPET Blomax Series V. The new packaging system is suitable for all types of beverage in the returnable container segment.
