This Wednesday, the 【PKG TalkShow】 arrived as scheduled. This episode mainly introduces the all-PET bottle cap designed and developed by Origin Materials, which for the first time achieves homogenization with the bottle body, completely eliminating sorting costs. This product not only aims to solve the problems of traditional caps in the recycling and usage process, bringing about a qualitative change in chemical circular economy, but also takes into account environmental protection and practicality, providing consumers with a new experience. From innovative design to production and commercialization, Origin Materials' PET bottle cap technology offers a new approach to sustainable development in the packaging industry.

1. Innovative All-PET Material

Origin's "all-PET" cap has achieved "100% recycled PET" from cap to bottle, eliminating the need to separate the cap from the bottle during recycling. The cap can be made from recycled PET, 100% bio-based or carbon-negative virgin PET, making it more sustainable than common alternatives. Additionally, PET has better oxygen and carbon dioxide barrier properties compared to commonly used cap materials such as HDPE and PP, effectively improving post-consumer recycling.

2. Unique integrated design

The tethered PET bottle cap launched by Origin complements its previous PET bottle caps. It is the world's lightest CSD cap, compatible with the PCO1881 neck finish, and it is also the first PET bottle cap to be produced on a commercial scale. The design is simple, ingenious, and user-friendly, utilizing the threads of the PET cap and bottle to lock the cap in place at an angle rather than directly towards the bottle mouth, combining the performance and sustainability advantages of the PET cap with an excellent user experience.
