After having converted in western Europe their 29/21 neck finish PET bottles into lighter-weight 26/21 versions using closures from Bericap, Cargill is continuing its commitment to sustainability by converting to 26/21 lightweight PET neck finish in Brazil.

Since December 2010, Bericap Brazil has supplied its CTC IP 26/13 closure with a specific inserted pourer. As a result, Cargill has reduced its carbon footprint and enjoyed resin cost savings on closure and neck finishes. And by using smaller caps that allow more pieces per box, the company is also saving in transportation costs, and in operational costs as more pieces per box reduces the number of operations required to feed the line.
