PET for liquor gains ground in Canada

In Canada today, between one-quarter and one-third of all liquor is sold in plastic bottles, according to a report from the Canadian Plastics Industry Association.

Plastic liquor bottles were introduced in Canada about a decade ago. But only in the last few years have they really started to gain significant shelf space. For example, according to figures from the Novia Scotia Liquor Corp., almost 50% of Smirnoff Vodka in 750-mL bottles now sells in plastic rather than glass. For Captain Morgan White in 750-mL bottles, plastic now accounts for about 40% of sales.
