PET bottles are making waves in the liquid dairy industry

Cartons and HDPE bottles still dominate the liquid dairy market, but PET bottles are coming on strong with comparable food safety benefits, better marketing opportunities, and a cost-effective and flexible production process.

While most liquid dairy products are still traditionally packaged in cartons or HDPE bottles, PET bottles are gaining momentum. According to Sidel, the France-based global packaging company, PET bottles offer the food safety and aseptic benefits of cartons and HDPE bottles, but provide better marketing opportunities and shelf differentiation while leveraging a cost-effective and flexible production process in comparison to their conventional carton and HDPE counterparts. ProFood World caught up with Guillaume Rolland, vice president of sensitive products at Sidel, to learn more about the potential and growing impact of PET in the liquid dairy market.
