Tethered cap

How can beverage industry players reduce their impact on the environment? In addition to increased plastic bottle collection, reduced bottle weight and the incorporation of rPET into bottles, tethered caps are one of the main levers being enforced by many local regulations. This is because they keep the cap attached to the bottle all the way up to when it is collected and recycled.

Having greener packaging has acquired a worldwide momentum that cannot be ignored. So, make sure you are ready at an early stage with the launch of your sustainable containers and turn these new regulations into business opportunities that will keep you ahead of the market by offering the best solutions.
