Webinar: The impossible is now possible; 2 stage plastics PET, HDPE

Gamechanging award winning packaging innovation for food, beverage and personal care

The focus of this webinar is to provide insight into the future of diverse plastic packaging (PET,HDPE focus); all offered to the market as 2 stage process (preform at hub + blowing in local markets). In this section we will be providing an overview of the biggest challenges in selecting packaging facing brand owners today. In our view, the challenges all focus on the following: economics [eco-nomics] and total cost of ownership.

If we break down the word economics, we immediately address the big issue; sustainability in packaging, a very key challenge, how can brand owners deliver on their corporate social responsibility and sustainability objectives. Additionally, it will all be about the commercial viability, 'nomics', reductions in materials whilst retaining the integrity of the packaging are evidence that there are gamechanging technologies available in the market place that can deliver on the business objectives whilst reducing the total cost of ownership impacting immediately on the brands 'halo' effect. This section of the webinar sets out the big questions and offers a framework to get these questions answered.

Traditional packaging materials (glass/PET/HDPE/Steel) are compared to new innovations, to include 2 stage PET and HDPE. Yes, it is now technically also possible to produce HDPE packaging in a 2 stage process, to date this has only been possible in a one-stage process. Here we provide insight in to the practical applications of the materials and we for instance highlight the significant savings in HDPE material, 30%+, that can be achieved retaining the integrity of the packaging whilst providing insight into the other advantages on offer.

We will focus on providing insight into a 'real life project' - a case study covering a 2 stage PET bespoke product. It is important that we will offer you a behind the scenes overview of packaging development specifically addressing the needs of the brand owner. Petainer has supported the brand Felix in the Nordic countries to move to 2 stage PET packaging for their ketchup products. A high barrier, high performance packaging solution also makes sure that Felix stands out from the crowd on the shelf.

In this last section of the webinar we will provide you with a development framework, blueprint, that sits at the core of our bespoke projects. The next step, following the webinar, will be for the brand owner attending the webinar to book a session with our NPD team to discuss a packaging challenge, in PET or HDPE which has remained unresolved until today. Offering the opportunity to take advantage of our new innovations securing significant savings whilst improving the sustainable credentials and enhancing the packaging performance where possible.
