As PET experts, we know the numerous advantages of PET packaging and always advise our customers on finding the optimum PET bottle for their product and specific application. 💡
We also inform our customers about upcoming changes to single-use plastic packaging. From 2024, there will be changes that also affect our EPRO PET bottles. ✅
Extension of the mandatory deposit for milk bottles
With the extended deposit obligation from January 2024, the decision to use PET packaging with a filling volume of 0.1 to 3.0 liters will become even more sustainable. Milk and mixed milk drink bottles with a milk content of at least 50% will now be included in the DPG (Deutsche Pfandsystem GmbH) return and deposit system. A sustainable step towards collecting, recycling and reusing these disposable plastic drinks bottles as a valuable raw material. ♻
Unsere PET-Serie EPROJUICE erfüllt bereits seit 2022 die Pfandpflicht und ist daher die optimale Wahl zur Abfüllung von Milch- und Milchmischgetränken. Mit einem Volumen zwischen 150 ml und 1.000 ml lassen sich verschiedenste Milchprodukte in ihr abfüllen. 🥛
Tethered caps - firmly connected for more environmental protection
Another EU directive that will finally come into force for single-use plastic beverage containers from July 2024 concerns tethered caps. The discussion about the permanently attached lids is far-reaching. Nevertheless, the advantages of tethered caps should be communicated positively: Valuable materials can be recycled, less plastic ends up in the environment and the caps stay where they belong - on the bottle. 🔒
Since 2022, EPROPLAST has also been offering closures in various colors as tethered caps.
