Sustainability Doesn't Mean Slowing Down

Grow Your Business, Not Your Footprint

Proven. Measurable. Impactful
Turning sustainability commitments into measurable results.

With more than 30 years of PET expertise, we have helped brands worldwide reduce their emissions and transition to lower-carbon packaging. We work with customers on long-term strategies that deliver meaningful, measurable reductions in environmental impact.

Transparent manufacturing.Progress at every stage.

Minimum material. Maximum performance.

We engineer PET kegs, bottles and watercoolers to use the least material possible without compromising strength or product integrity, and design them to work with existing recycling systems. In 2025, we used 22,318 tonnes of recycled PET.

Sustainable PET packaging innovatin

Every Petainer product is designed to cut carbon, from the material it’s made from to how many times it can be used. Here’s how PET compares across our bottles, kegs, preforms and watercoolers.

64% lower emissions than cans

64% Lower Emissions Than Cans. At the factory gate, including raw materials and production, PET generates 0.04 kg CO₂e compared with 0.11 kg CO₂e for aluminium cans.

Up to 100% recycled PET.

Up to 100% Recycled PET. Petainer bottles can contain up to 100% post-consumer recycled PET, further reducing their emissions footprint.

20x lighter than glass

20x Lighter Than Glass. Weight matters: using less material and transporting lighter packaging can reduce emissions across the supply chain.

Keeping PET in Circulation

Keeping PET in Circulation. Collecting post-consumer PET and using it directly in new products keeps valuable material in circulation.

84% lower emissions than steel kegs.

84% Lower Emissions Than Steel Kegs. A Petainer keg generates 4.31 kg CO₂e in production, compared with 26.68 kg CO₂e for a comparable steel keg.

Reusable Chimes Save 75% Carbon

Reusable Chimes Save 75% Carbon. Removing and reusing the top and bottom chimes can save 75% of the carbon emissions associated with producing a new Petainer keg.

No Lost Kegs to Replace

No Lost Kegs to Replace. Steel keg fleets typically lose 5–10% of their kegs each year through loss, damage or non-return. Replacing 10% of a standard fleet of 1,000 steel kegs creates manufacturing emissions equivalent to producing 619 new Petainer Hybrid Kegs.

Built for export.

Built for Export. Lightweight and economical to ship, Petainer kegs are ideal for long-distance export and eliminate the need for return transport.

64% lower emissions than cans.

64% Lower Emissions Than Cans. At the factory gate, including raw materials and production, PET generates 0.04 kg CO₂e compared with 0.11 kg CO₂e for aluminium cans.

Every Gram Counts. Even one gram less material per product adds up, reducing resin use and emissions across large production volumes.

Up to 100% recycled PET.

Up to 100% Recycled PET. Petainer preforms can contain up to 100% post-consumer recycled PET, further reducing their emissions footprint.

Keeping PET in circulation.

Keeping PET in Circulation. Collecting post-consumer PET and using it directly in new products keeps valuable material in circulation.

42% lower emissions than polycarbonate.

42% Lower Emissions Than Polycarbonate. PET watercooler bottles generate 2.20 kg CO₂e in production, compared with 3.79 kg CO₂e for polycarbonate alternatives.

Refill. Repeat. 30 times.

Refillable Up to 30 Times. Designed for repeated use, our PET watercooler bottles can be refilled up to 30 times, reducing plastic waste and environmental impact compared with single-use bottles. PET also has a lower carbon footprint than polycarbonate.

Fewer trucks on the road.

Fewer Trucks with Preforms. Blow bottles on demand from preforms to reduce the number of trucks needed to transport the equivalent quantity of finished bottles.

One bottle replaces 17

One Bottle Replaces 17. Each large-capacity bottle holds the equivalent of 17 standard 500 ml bottles, reducing the number of containers, replacements and deliveries required. That means less waste, greater efficiency and lower handling costs.

68% lower emissions than glass.

68% Lower Emissions Than Glass. Reusable PET bottles generate 0.11 kg CO₂e in production, compared with 0.34 kg CO₂e for comparable glass bottles.

One bottle. 25 lives.

One Bottle Does the Work of 25. Reusing one bottle 25 times can remove the need for 24 additional bottles in the supply chain.

92% less material

92% Less Material. On a like-for-like basis, 25 uses can deliver a 92% reduction in material weight compared with using a new bottle each time.

Reuse meets rPET.

Reuse Plus 30% Recycled Content. Combining reuse with up to 30% recycled content can reduce bottle-production emissions even further.

White Paper

Reuse without the weight.Less carbon. Lower cost.

From 2030, PPWR will require a growing share of beverages to be sold in reusable packaging. Our white paper compares reusable PET and glass on carbon and total system cost through to 2040, covering transport, breakage, materials and emissions.

We'll use your email to send you the white paper. See our Privacy Policy.
