On the quality of PET for use in packaging beer

PET as an alternative | The primary purpose of packaging material for perishable goods is to serve as a suitable storage receptacle for the product while providing protection against all external influences to the greatest extent possible. It is also important that packaging is flexible, that it is able to be molded into a variety of forms and has versatile design potential, so that it can easily be modified to fit specific consumers’ needs. Due to their form and distinctiveness (e.g. color and design), plastic bottles provide almost unlimited packaging possibilities. This article traces important advances in PET technology, with an emphasis on the quality of the packaging materials.
