Premium, sustainable, convenient.
Would your customers appreciate all three? Is that part of your brand story? Is it even possible to combine them?
Years ago, manufacturer Patrick Pan was frustrated by this very problem.
A Worldwide Recyclable Material That’s Also Beautiful
Pan was a successful producer of acrylic bottles. In order to understand the entire lifecycle of the products, he also volunteered at a local recycling station.
One day he saw a bottle that came from his factory. He was excited to find out where it would end up.
He was told that the material was rated as a recycle code #7. It was very hard to recycle, and would likely just become pure waste. This bottle made up 80% of Pan’s business. He was there trying to help, only to discover that he was adding to a worldwide problem. Instead of ignoring it, he went back to his team and told them he wanted to change all manufacturing to material that was code #1 — the most sustainable plastic.
But then he was told it would look flimsy, ugly, “second use”.
Yet what he needed — what his customers wanted — was meant for the luxury beauty market.
PET Heavy Wall Style: Sturdy, High-Clarity, Shatterproof & Lighter Than Glass
Glass is the gold standard. It looks good, it feels satisfying. However, it’s prone to breaking. And it weighs a ton.
The goal was to find an ideal solution for both retail and e-commerce luxury brands that maintained the charm of glass with none of the downsides, while being completely recyclable.
That is when Pan’s company EPOPACK developed PET plastic in a “heavy wall” style.
PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) weighs less than glass. What “heavy wall” means is that the material is durable and commands a presence on the shelf. It looks high-end, and it feels great in your hands. It is also the most reusable, green solution out of all plastic containers.
In this case, eco-friendly does not mean you have to compromise on style.
