Live at GS1 Connect: Driscoll's Gives a Billion Clamshells Unique IDs

How Colgate-Palmolive Pushed a Familiar Resin Into New Territory
At The Packaging Conference this week, Polyplastics and Colgate-Palmolive detailed how high-Tg Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC) can enable HDPE bottles to run in ISBM at low concentrations, achieving 30% lightweighting while maintaining drop performance and recyclability.
February 13, 2026
Series of ISBM-molded HDPE/COC bottles produced at increasing preform reheat temperatures. The highlighted region (~131–137°C), near HDPE’s melting point, shows the optimal processing window where bottle formation is stable and wall distribution is uniform. Bottles outside this temperature range exhibit distortion or instability, illustrating the narrow thermal alignment required for successful HDPE/COC ISBM processing.
