“This cycle begins with every one of us being mindful of disposing of used PET packaging in the designated waste containers or via the existing systems for the recovery of plastic packaging.

“Because this used and collected packaging isn’t waste, but a resource for further use and for the production of rPET. In generating rPET using recycled plastic, we can reduce our CO2e emissions by 78% compared with the volume we need for the manufacture of PET preforms using new raw materials.”

In June this year, ALPLA partnered with mineral water company Vöslauer to develop a reusable PET bottle.
