Joining NAPCOR

Sidel is conscious of the environmental challenges faced by the beverage packaging industry and wants to be actively involved in environmental initiatives. For these reasons, Sidel has joined NAPCOR (National Association for PET Container Resources), which is the trade association of the PET plastic industry in the United States and Canada.

To promote the use and recycling of PET packaging and to communicate the attributes of PET as an environmentally sustainable material: these are some of the missions that NAPCOR has been pursuing for more than 20 years in the United States and Canada. Today, NAPCOR’s membership includes about 50 companies involved in different stages of the PET container life cycle, from preform manufacturers to packaging equipment makers, food and beverage companies and recycling operators. “Sidel is committed to sustainability innovation and to making PET recycling easier, through both the design of its equipment and the design of packages,” states Luc Desoutter, Sustainability Manager for Sidel. NAPCOR membership will help the Group enhance its dialogue with other companies.
