Top Articles of 2024, #11: If Brands Need PCR, Why is Demand for rPET so Soft?
The #11 most clicked article of 2024: Brands made commitments to use more PCR, and rPET is a substrate with lots of packaging applications. So why is it so cheap, and why is demand so soft, especially heading into 2024's 'preform season?'

Top Articles of 2024, #14: Refresco's Mono-material, Aseptic HDPE/rHDPE Carton
The #14 most clicked article of 2024: While brands swap plastic for paper, reZorce flips the script with circular, mono-material HDPE/rHDPE for paper. Finishing validation, CM/CP Refresco will be first to market.

END USER REFRESCO: 'If you look at the groups of customers that we have, about two thirds are the large retailers, and about one third are A brands, what we clearly see is that the A brand owners are pushing for circularity themselves. They want us to come up with a circular solution, and they are very demanding of us--rightfully so, because it's part of their brand and positioning. For the retailers, we play more of a product developer role, and we are supposed to come up with circular solutions. They compare us with other bottlers, and other beverage solutions providers and see who has the best option. So we have to offer them business solutions, we have to offer them choices, and they want them to be within a competitive price and high quality. We need to come up with a solution that brings that all, and I believe that with this reZorce pack, we have a new option that they will certainly appreciate.' -- Coert Michielsen, CPO, Refresco
