Plastics packaging manufacturers are keen to stay ahead of changing EU legislation in order to be a positive influence and supporter of the circular economy. The EU SUP Directive\u2019s tethered closures rule for all beverage containers of up to three litres to have lids that \u2018remain attached\u2019 is a reflection of the organisation\u2019s \u2018growing sense of urgency\u2019, which also reflects the view of the majority of PET manufacturers.<\/p>\n
Packaging converter Retal is driven to meet and exceed EU targets in order to deliver on its customers\u2019 CSR targets as well as its own strict
\n goals.<\/p>\n
Andzejus Buinovskis, design engineer at Retal, has been deeply involved in the development of the company\u2019s tethered cap solutions, a process which has evolved in response to challenges and further information.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe process of developing and changing has been interesting as we\u2019ve been in close communication with our beverage brand customers,\u201d said Buinovskis. \u201cTheir needs are evolving too, so sharing ideas has helped to create solutions that we\u2019re really proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n
