Discover how much you can reduce your carbon footprint by choosing Petainer's sustainable PET packaging solutions. Our Carbon Emissions Savings Calculator allows you to input the number of bottles you require and instantly compare the carbon emissions associated with PET bottles, aluminium cans, and glass bottles. Empower your business to make environmentally responsible decisions that contribute to a greener future while optimising costs and efficiency.
This calculator estimates carbon footprint based on selected parameters. Production site affects renewable energy factors. Volume scales total impact. Product type (preform, one-way bottles, or refillable bottles) influences transport weight and energy. Size/weight impacts material usage. rPET content reduces virgin material. Transport distance uses standard freight truck CO2 factors (0.052g CO2/kg·km).
Fair comparison note: Glass bottles assume 52% recycled content (limited by color sorting constraints), aluminum cans assume 73% recycled content (limited by supply chain availability). PET products can achieve up to 100% recycled content, currently set to 25%.

Lower emissions = higher score. Based on your Excel calculations including material mass, transport distance, and rPET content.
Lighter packaging = higher score. Compares actual weights: PET (24g), Glass (190g), Aluminum (12.2g).
Your rPET: 25% vs industry limits (Glass: 52%, Aluminum: 73% due to supply constraints).
Distance-adjusted shipping efficiency at 2000km. PET preforms nest efficiently, bottles stack well.
Renewable energy benefits from Lidkoping, Sweden production (51% renewable).
Larger area indicates better sustainability performance. All metrics calculated from input parameters.
Choose sustainable, high-performance PET solutions designed to reduce waste, lower costs, and protect your products—all while supporting a circular economy. Start your journey today.
