Converting from glass to PET packaging saves money and reduces your GHG emissions so you can meet your ESG goals. And you will not sacrifice the safety of your product and customers with the strength and stability of PET. Reach out today and we can discuss how PET can help your supply chain!
Same shelf appeal, easier shipping and handling, and less product loss due to breakage. And in addition to its lower carbon footprint during shipping, making polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles consumes considerably less energy than it takes to make glass. Don’t be tricked by common misconceptions — PET packaging holds up when compared to glass.

No need for single-use plastic where there is no tap water.
The Coca-Cola Company has been selling 20-litre refillable containers for decades in Mexico.
When I arrived at our flat last night I was greeted by a new innovative dispenser which had been acquired.
So no more lifting a 20-litre container to refill the water jug.
Just press a button and water is served. Totally convenient, and those containers go round and round and round. You will never beat the LCA with any kind of single-use. Definitely not a paper bottle 🥴
Now we need an inert biopolymer version of the container.

We have the solutions. So what is stopping us?
Almost every business I speak to has or knows solutions that would get them a long way towards being more sustainable.
They are happy to innovate, test, build business cases, then all too often, they revert to business as usual or at best, add the better option to the portfolio of poor options, as an eco line or premium .
Who or what stands in the way when a move to refill (already a profitable line for them) could shift a company like Coca Cola from being one of the world's biggest polluters to one of the most sustainable?
And more importantly how do we move the blockers or reframe the growth opportunity?

It has been a busy six months at VOID! Our customers have already completed over 10 industrial-scale blown PE film + MDO trials in 2024. Some customers are conducting multi-day production runs and voided packaging is starting to appear on shelves.
But what’s all the fuss about?
VOID’s VO+ cavitation technology uses a polymeric additive masterbatch to create micro-scale air pockets in MDO PE films. Brand owners are using VO+ to develop a new generation of flexible packaging that helps them achieve their sustainability and recycling targets. This includes premium pearlescent hygiene packaging, laminates for pet food, and confectionery wrappers.
