In 2026 we are thrilled to embark on our next adventure in the name of PET: Back to China!

In this spectacular project, we are returning to one of the world’s most dynamic PET bottle manufacturing market: China!
Since we last toured this fascinating country a decade ago, China has undergone an extraordinary transformation, solidifying its position as a global powerhouse with unparalleled production capacity, cutting-edge technologies, and ambitious sustainability strategies. From breakthrough achievements in lightweighting and barrier solutions to the booming rPET sector and rapidly advancing circular economy initiatives, the country’s progress is nothing short of remarkable.

During our tour, we will reconnect with this vibrant and fast-evolving industry landscape, meet leading manufacturers across the value chain, and gain firsthand insights into the innovations, investments, and expansions that are shaping the future of PET bottle production. What trends define the Chinese PET market today? Which developments will drive tomorrow’s growth? How is the industry pushing the boundaries in efficiency, quality, and environmental responsibility?

We will be discussing all this — and much more — directly on site with the key players, and our findings will be shared with you in a dedicated series of in-depth Editour reports in PETplanet Insider.

Join us on this inspiring journey back to China and stay tuned for more exciting updates!
