Energy savings start upstream. Lightweight 19 g preforms cut blow-moulding air pressure from 35 bar to 28 bar, reducing compressor energy by 18 %.
Regenerative dryers reclaim 70 % of heat from exhaust air, cutting thermal energy per kilogram of PET by 0.12 kWh. O
ur plant operates 45 % on solar, feeding surplus into the grid and earning I-REC certificates that offset Scope-2 emissions for export customers. When pet preforms are shipped nested, one 40 ft HC container carries 1.2 million units versus 130 000 blown bottles, trimming freight fuel per bottle by 60 %.
Independent LCA confirms a cradle-to-gate footprint of 0.28 kg CO₂-e per 500 ml bottle-below the EU PPWR 2040 threshold. Energy data are blockchain-verified and shared with buyers, enabling Science-Based Targets reporting without extra audits.
