BETTER PET PACKAGING FROM RETAL<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Plastic manufacturers are making responsible strides to produce packaging that delivers on all counts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global plastic packaging manufacturer RETAL invests in state-of-the-art equipment that <\/span><\/span>can process 100<\/span><\/span> per cent<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>rPET<\/span><\/span> flakes<\/span><\/span> and granules<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span>to ensure its production processes are as effective and efficient as possible<\/span><\/span>, with lower <\/span><\/span>material and energy <\/span><\/span>requirements<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>reduce<\/span><\/span>d<\/span><\/span> carbon emissions. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

RETAL is actively reducing its carbon footprint through its energy efficiency programme. More than 20 per cent of its total electricity consumption<\/strong> is renewable<\/strong>, and RETAL has installed the largest solar panel plant in the Baltic states at its factory in Lentvaris, Lithuania. <\/p>\n

Sophisticated 3D software allows RETAL\u2019s design team to work closely with customers. Its R&D team is working with multinational brand owners to create lighter preforms with tethered closures<\/strong> (closures that remain attached to the bottle after opening). Such closures will not be lost among other waste as they are attached to the bottle, making it easier to collect, sort and recycle. RETAL has created its own tethered closure solution that will soon be available on the market.<\/p>\n

Modern software also enables the company to develop better and more efficient bottle shapes. Complex geometric designs make RETAL bottles both strong and light, helping to reduce the consumption of raw materials in production.<\/p>\n
