Learn more about how EPBP can support PET bottle users in driving circularity!

The European PET Bottle Platform (EPBP) is an industry initiative that aims to:

For more than 15 years, the EPBP has been instrumental in providing companies with an independent and confidential assessment on the recyclability of their bottle packaging solutions to drive PET bottle circularity. This makes it possible to evaluate innovative packaging solutions still during their R&D phase, enabling adjustments to mitigate recycling challenges.

 

The guidelines aim to strike a balance between resource efficiency, the need for innovation and shelf differentiation, and recycling practices in Europe.

 

On top of the full-scale testing protocol, EPBP has also developed a series of quick and low-cost assessment techniques to allow producers to easily obtain rapid indications as to the recyclability of their packaging solutions.

Its mission is to ensure that the entire PET industry is well aligned to enhance its value and sustainable growth, to represent the PET industry before the European institutions and other stakeholders, to ensure that PET is positioned as an outstanding packaging material and recognised as environmentally sound, to support and validate innovative packaging solutions from a recycling perspective, and to work with all interested parties to ensure a continuous increase of PET post-consumer collection and recycling.

PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) is a strong but lightweight form of polyester. It is used to make containers for soft drinks, juices, drinks, water, edible oil, fresh food and dairy as well as household cleaners and other non-food applications. PET bottles and food containers, such as sheets and trays are perfectly recyclable while they help to reduce CO2 emissions and food waste.
