WorldStar for lightweight, low carbon rPETeCO.

Last year was a striking year for rPETeCO, the lightweight, low carbon material with three major awards under its belt and three Highly Commended placings.

We are also now a WorldStar Winner in the Food Packaging Category, among the 69 global contenders.

Holfeld uses 20 percent less plastic bottles to blend their rPETeCO material--only 8 out of 10 waste plastic bottles used. rPETeCO is a multi market robust tactile lightweight low carbon material using 90 percent re-cyclate for each bottle weighing an average of 20g or approx 50,000 bottles to the tonne.

During 2013 Holfeld used 439,000 less waste plastic bottles to produce rPETeCO than they would have done had they used rigid PET. The material has a non-plastic appearance where added value is required. Holsorb in the base eliminates the need for a soak pad.
