In the beverage industry, reducing environmental impact is now a priority. Alongside increased plastic bottle collection, bottle lightweighting and the use of rPET, tethered caps are becoming a key requirement in many markets. By keeping the cap attached to the bottle until collection and recycling, they help limit plastic leakage and support circularity.

Turning tethered cap regulations into opportunities

Greener packaging has gained worldwide momentum and cannot be ignored. New regulations on tethered caps are not only about compliance; they are also an opportunity to launch sustainable containers early, differentiate your offer and stay ahead of the market with best-in-class solutions for your customers.

Unlocking PET packaging potential with tethered caps

Greener PET packaging goes beyond meeting local regulations or anticipating plastic eco-taxes. By adopting tethered caps, you can:

  • Support collection and recycling efforts
  • Strengthen your sustainability positioning
  • Enhance the overall consumer experience with a cap that stays attached
