Miller Brewing Co. is prepared to make major changes to its PET bottles to keep recyclers happy but would not disclose if it will proceed with a national rollout.
Miller came under flak from environmentalists, local governments and recyclers when it started testmarketing its PET packaged beer more than a year ago. In order to silence concerns and objections, Miller agreed to discontinue using the aluminium cap and tamper-proof ring in favour of a plastic cap and ring. The brewer originally went with aluminium because plastic did not offer the carbonation and oxygen protection it wanted, but these issues have been solved now. Miller will also switch to a label which will not disintegrate so easily when PET bottles are being washed for recycling.S. markets..
