Husky announces initiatives to create awareness of the benefits of PET packaging
09/11/2009

Husky Injection Molding Systems today announced initiatives that will raise awareness about the benefits of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) as a packaging material. Husky is participating in several projects dedicated to providing accurate information about the safety, sustainability and recyclability of PET.

Studies have shown that PET is one of the most lightweight and recyclable packaging materials. As PET technology continues to advance, it is becoming an increasingly attractive packaging alternative for many applications.

Husky partnered with others in the plastics industry to launch the Facts on PET campaign, to promote accurate information about PET and dispel any misleading information. Husky is also working with the Allied Development Corporation, to conduct Life Cycle Analysis studies. The studies determine how the environmental footprint and greenhouse gas emissions of manufacturing and transporting PET relates to alternative forms of packaging.
