To support this circularity, we've developed innovative PET closure and tethered closure designs that comply with emerging recyclability regulations, helping customers stay ahead of legislative requirements. We're also advancing the use of rPET, with systems that connect directly to third-party melt providers to convert washed rPET flake into preforms. This allows food, beverage, and consumer goods producers to meet recycled content targets ranging from 0% to 100%.
Some Husky customers are now able to reshape a recycled PET bottle and return it to consumer use in as little as five days—closing the loop faster than ever. Sustainability is embedded in our systems—and in our DNA.
PET is also commonly recycled into materials for:
- Clothing and carpeting
- Upholstery and automotive interiors
- Shoes and other consumer goods
One material in particular plays a leading role in enabling sustainable, circular packaging: PET (polyethylene terephthalate). PET is one of the most environmentally responsible packaging materials available today. It’s inert, medical-grade, infinitely recyclable, and highly reusable. Our injection molding systems support PET’s central role in the circular economy by producing packaging that can be continuously recycled into new PET bottles and containers.
