use 100% PCR to produce 28- For ounce bottles, the carbon footprint can be reduced by 60% or per thousand products. 14kg carbon dioxide equivalent. When pure PET is used, 104 is discharged per thousand bottles. 67kgCO2.

The product series involved includes 28 ounces of multi-purpose detergent and daily spray of method; 25 oz floor cleaner and. This article comes from China packaging bottle network, China's largest plastic bottle trading website. 12 ounces of surface cleaner. JasonCrouch, director of method, explained:' Since we have successfully launched 100% PCR packaging bottles in the UK, we want to explore what new products can be launched in the United States. '

However, it is not used for the perfect European supply infrastructure, and the PCR sheet supply facility for blow molding PET bottles has not been established in the United States.

GregRosati, director of Amcor, pointed out:' Last year, when method found us to cooperate in the research and development of such products, we hoped that the PCR content could reach 50%, and passed the test of products with the content of 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, we found that even reaching 100% content is feasible. But we also know that it takes a lot of effort and experiment to pass all the standards. ' Compared with pure resin, PCR has lower intrinsic viscosity and shorter molecular segments.
