A new chapter in sustainable packaging Corvaglia is a global supplier of lightweight closure solutions for PET bottles. Over its 35-year history, the company has engineered various customised closures across diverse FMCG applications. The company is now expanding into fibre-based materials as part of its next step in sustainable packaging solutions.

Advancing sustainability with all-PET closures and bottle As sustainability targets accelerate across the beverage industry, packaging producers and brand owners face growing pressure to simplify materials, improve recyclability, and deliver performance without compromise. Husky’s HyCAP SecuRE+ technology addresses these requirements by enabling mono-material packaging, pairing PET closures with PET bottles. This

SACMI advances sustainable rigid packaging In the rigid packaging sector, caps continue to play a crucial role in reconciling sustainability, industrial performance and consumer experience. Against this backdrop, cap and preform technologies are evolving rapidly, driving the market towards lighter, more flexible solutions that meet new international standards. Lightweighting and new

Integrated cap material recycling system Over the past two years, the PET recycling industry has undergone profound changes. Sustained fluctuations in raw material prices, increasing pressure from overcapacity, and rising environmental standards have placed strain on corporate profit margins. It is against this industry backdrop that Boretech asks: How can PET

For years, the packaging industry has been working toward a truly mono material bottle system that enables high quality, closed loop recycling. While PET bottles are already the established global standard, the HDPE closure has remained the last barrier to a fully unified material stream. Today, this long standing separation could

Additive technology enables recyclable PET closures compatible with existing bottle recycling streams A new additive masterbatch from Sukano addresses PET caps recycling. The development aims to enable the caps to be recycled within the same recycling stream as clear PET bottles. Sukano has developed an additive package that allows the production

Additive, sealing and design In the highly competitive beverage packaging market, speed, reliability and flexibility are decisive factors. Contexo assembly machines operate at a pace so high that in six-hundredth of a second, a new closure is assembled, folded, inspected multiple times and transferred downstream. This corresponds to up to 920

Increasing requirements The operating conditions for closure manufacturers are changing noticeably. Higher output rates, limited production space, stricter quality requirements, and a growing variety of closure designs are increasingly shaping day-to-day production. These challenges arise from market demands, regulatory frameworks, and the expectations of fillers and brand owners. Inspection systems must

Now that the implementation of tethered closures across Europe is largely complete, the PET packaging industry is entering a new and more mature phase of closure development. In recent years, cap and neck design have been driven by one regulatory requirement. The Single Use Plastics Directive forced a fundamental rethink of
