PET packaging can be easily recycled, yet plastic packaging waste in landfills and oceans is increasing worldwide. Capture is added to the bottle closure, effectively removing the barrier from the bottle. By moving the oxygen scavenger to the cap, there is greater flexibility and even lightweighting options for the bottle design.

In recent years, white opaque PET bottles for dairy applications have been under increasing scrutiny for the potential effects their mineral fillers can have on the recycle stream used to create fiber. Testing also shows that in established opaque white PET recycle streams, Lactra products are suitable for closed loop bottle-to-bottle recycling.  Avient employs approximately 9,100 associates and is certified ACC Responsible Care® and a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.  

The simpler injection process can also lead to reduced production waste, while lightweighting lowers production costs per bottle. Novapet belongs to Spanish family company Samca Group, holding activities in mining, agricultural, energy, plastics, synthetic fibres and real state promotion, with an annual turnover of nearly 850 million euros.

For example, this directive has set a target for plastic bottles. They should contain at least 25% recycled plastic in their manufacture by 2025 (for PET bottles), and 30% by 2030 (for all bottles). These commitments and mandates will continue to drive the high and increasing demand for recycled plastic bottles.
