Packaging and recycling specialist Alpla and the private fountain T\u00f6nissteiner Sprudel have developed a returnable PET bottle made from 100 per cent recycled material. The reusable 1-litre returnable bottle for mineral water reduces CO2<\/sub>-consumption and has logistical advantages with its low weight. It is now available in stores. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

100 per cent for the recycling loop: Alpla and T\u00f6nissteiner present after around a year of development a returnable PET bottle made from 100 per cent post-consumer recycled material<\/strong> (excluding cap and label). The 1-litre bottle conserves resources during production and reduces CO2<\/sub>-consumption. The recycled PET (rPET) for the packaging solution comes from Alplarecycling's own production. At the end of its service life, the bottle is fully recyclable.<\/p>

\u201eThe packaging of the future will be sustainable, light and safe. At Alpla, we are already achieving this today with a circular economy based on the \u201abottle-to-bottle\u2018 principle, weight optimisation and consistent design for recycling. Together with T\u00f6nissteiner, we are combining all of these approaches in a new reusable solution made from 100 per cent rPET.\u201c<\/p>

\u201eT\u00f6nissteiner stands for the sustainable use of resources. The climate-friendly bottle is perfectly matched to our sorting, filling and transport processes.\u201c<\/p>

The customised design of the rPET returnable bottle makes it possible to use the already established 12-bottle crates from T\u00f6nissteiner. Up to 160 crates with 1,920 more bottles can be transported per lorry load.<\/strong> The optimised return of empties from T\u00f6nissteiner rPET and glass containers in a uniform crate on a pallet also speeds up the cycle and reduces the sorting effort for wholesalers and retailers.<\/p>

Once the reusable bottle has reached the end of its service life, which is determined by the number of cycles, it can be reprocessed into rPET at Alplarecycling's plants and recycled in the form of new bottles. Laser markings provide information on the number of cycles<\/strong> and supplement quality control during refilling. T\u00f6nssteiner and Alpla thus ensure an optimal \u201ebottle-to-bottle\u201c cycle and guarantee their own high-quality rPET reusable bottle pool.<\/p>
