“Cannabis Science now has the in-house capacity to manufacture PET bottles and containers for Cannabis Science’s consumer products, as well as to manufacture bottles and containers for other manufacturers of beverages, speciality waters, foods, cosmetics, and other products globally.”
The acquisition comes at a time when global market for plastic containers is projected to grow to more than $388bn in 2020, while the US domestic market for pharmaceutical plastic bottles is set to increase to over $9bn by the end of 2024.
Cannabis Science said it will capitalise on the growing demand for plastic bottles and containers for application in unit-dose packaging for pharmaceutical products.
