In a market traditionally dominated by two-material bottle-and-closure solutions, Husky’s PET closure is set to transform industry standards. By creating a fully PET-based mono-material solution that integrates seamlessly with existing PET recycling streams, the company is streamlining the material sorting process, reducing environmental impact, and unlocking new efficiencies in recycling and lightweighting.

“At Husky, our commitment to enabling the packaging industry to transition from a linear to a circular economy is taken seriously. Winning the Packaging Europe Sustainability Award for our PET closure reflects this commitment to delivering innovative, sustainable solutions that meet global demands for more circular packaging,” said Robert Domodossola, Husky’s President of Systems and Tooling. “Our PET closure is designed to advance the recyclability and functionality of beverage packaging by providing a mono-material solution that represents a significant step forward for the industry and consumers alike.”

Husky’s PET closure is engineered to enhance both the operational and environmental performance of beverage packaging. By aligning closure and bottle materials, it eliminates the need for multi-material sorting, significantly increasing recyclable PET yields. Its rigid properties reduce material usage and weight, lowering costs and waste while boosting efficiency. Additionally, the closure features a patented tamper-evident design that ensures consumer safety and a stress-free capping process, resulting in a lower reject rate and reliable performance.

Unveiled earlier this year at NPE 2024 in Orlando, Florida, Husky’s PET closure has already garnered strong industry support, with select early adopters preparing for commercial production in 2025.
