Alpla and KHS develop a new reusable 1-liter PET bottle
04/27/2020

The Austrian packaging specialist Alpla has managed to develop reusable 1-liter PET bottles, thanks to its collaboration with KHS. Alpla generates preforms that are stretched, blown, and filled by KHS. Both the neck and base have been optimized to reduce weights. The bottle weighs 55 grams, 10 less than the usual reusable plastic bottles and 10 times less than a glass bottle.

The material resists the basic medium required to subject the bottle to washing cycles for reuse. Recycled PET has been used and even when it can no longer be reused, the bottles can be recycled, resulting in new PET bottles.
