Austrian packaging solutions firm Alpla has developed a new sustainable plastic packaging solution, known as EBM PET, which combines the benefits of extrusion blow molding (EBM) and PET.

The packaging company said that the new EBM PET is in line with its sustainability strategy to make all packaging solutions recyclable and achieve the usage of 25% recycled materials in all materials. Alpla has joined New Plastics Economy initiative in October 2018.

EBM is the production technology that provides more flexibility for the designing of packaging solutions.

It enables to design bottles with or without a handle, large or small volumes, oval, round or angular forms with variable neck diameters.

Alpla said that its new EMB PET packaging solutions can be fully recycled in a stable circular economy.

With EBM PET, the company provides a comprehensive system solution, which allows using PET regranulate in EBM technology.

Alpla has made necessary changes to its machine platform to support the production of EBM PET packaging. The firm stated that it can install them in the form of an in-house solution directly at the clients’ locations.

Furthermore, the company said that it can integrate the production of bottles into its clients’ production process to save cost on transport and packaging.
