The Future of Beer in PET

Since the latest developments in barrier coatings have made PET a more viable option for brewers, the arguments for the use of PET bottles for beer have never been more compelling; lightweight, safe, sustainable and energy efficient. Despite all these attributes, beer in PET still has number of very significant obstacles to overcome, namely waste regulations, food contact and consumer acceptance, before it becomes the packaging material of choice

This new multi-client study quantifies the market and future for PET in beer packaging globally. It provides market and technology forecasts to 2015, with analysis of the important trends, feasibility issues, coatings and additive technologies, and any changes in consumer acceptance. This report is aimed at the entire supply chain of the beer industry, from brewers to PET converters and raw materials suppliers.
