No burn through on ultra-lightweight PET beverage containers

摘要

Lightweight beverage containers has become a powerful means for beverage bottlers and suppliers to contribute to their sustainability goals while reducing direct material and transportation spend. The beverage industry, led by bottled water and soft drink producers, has taken a leadership role among consumer packaged goods companies and continues to introduce dramatic lightweight innovations. The latest "ultra thin" polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, which can also be used for dairy products,are as much as 50 per cent thinner and lighter than bottles produced just a few years ago.
