Husky will be making their first public presentation for Latin America at the 7th Latin America PET (7th LAPET) conferenceon the world’s first system specifically optimized for manufacturing preforms with high percentages of food-grade recycled PET flake. The new system will help to make PET packaging more sustainable by enabling significant increases to the amount of post-consumer, recycled PET flake.
“Husky recognizes the importance of sustainability in PET packaging, which is why we have invested in putting post-consumer material back into the bottle,” said John Galt, Husky’s President and CEO. He added, “Recycled flake used to be challenging to work with. Husky saw this as an opportunity to take a leadership role to simplify the manufacturing process and reduce the overall cost and environmental footprint of PET packaging. The recycling solution we will introduce at Drinktec is an important first step for us in building a portfolio of solutions aimed at improving the sustainability of packaging.”
This new HyPET option addresses the specific challenges of manufacturing PET bottles using recycled PET flake. System enhancements will allow manufacturers not currently using recycled PET flake to introduce this material into their products. For those already using recycled PET flake, this can eliminate some of the current manufacturing and quality challenges they may face while enabling an increase in their recycled PET flake content.
Husky’s Vice President for Latin America Mr. Mike Urquhart will provide more details on Husky’s innovation at the 7th LAPET conference during the PET Technology Showcase, where major PET technology providers are sharing their latest innovations.
