Equally important, this versatile HDPE product can enhance sustainability efforts by allowing bottle weight reductions of up to 15 percent while maintaining barrier and top load performance. (Of course, it can also maintain current bottle weight and offer even higher levels of performance.)

In addition to enhancing sustainability by reducing material use, the ability of selected resins to maintain top load at lighter bottle weights creates opportunities for increased design freedom. And, in alignment with Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) guidelines, bottles made with CONTINUUM™ and UNIVAL™ Resins can team up with EVERCAP™ Innovative Closure Resins to help improve recycle stream integrity at the end of their useful life. We’re also continuing to explore and participating in a wide range of other sustainability programs.
