Creating a snapshot of PCR quality as the world demands more in PET packaging
Abstract
Abstract
Abstract: With rPET – EVERYTHING IS A SNAPSHOT and you must get data over a long period of time to get a base for what the true quality is from any and all suppliers. It isn’t as simple as you think. Through rigorous testing systems we can begin to understand what the quality issues may be with all types of rPET collections, from curbside to deposit, and set a roadmap of expectations and ways to ensure rPET success in your packaging.
