New Process Helps Decrease the Use of Resin in PET Bottles

Graham Packaging, the US-based blow-molded container supplier, recently announced that it has developed a new process that can reduce the amount of resin used in PET bottles without affecting performance.

The company said that the new process can reduce the quality of PET bottles without having to redesign the bottles, but the company did not specify how much it could reduce. According to Toshi Kojitani, director of the PET production line at Graham, the use of this special molding process will allow PET bottles to be manufactured while reducing the amount of material needed to maintain their original performance. Graham has spent the next two years refining this new technology, saying that the new technology will help PET bottle makers ease the pressure caused by rising resin prices. According to its user tests, the new PET bottles are no different in performance compared to current PET bottle containers. Graham intends to introduce the technology into its entire product family, but the timetable for implementing this program is currently not stated.
