Company: Amcor Rigid Plastics Melbourne, Australia amcor.com Recycled Content: 80 percent Market: General consumer A PET liquid detergent container is rare, let alone one made entirely of post-consumer content. However, a new liquid laundry detergent bottle made by Amcor Rigid Plastics for Method Products is made of 100 percent post-consumer PET. The cap is created from virgin material (the cap accounts for 20 percent of packaging weight). The 53-ounce container holds Method's 4X concentrated detergent. "This new PET offering in the liquid laundry segment resonates with the rest of our brand portfolio in hand wash and all-purpose cleaners," Joe Hunter, director of packaging for San Francisco-based Method, stated in a press release. "This is an important achievement in a market that has previously been predominantly limited to opaque HDPE containers."
