Less than 10 years after having introduced on the market the first plastic closures for still water, traded as HEXACAP®, that weighted less than 2g and that were produced on large scale across the world (almost 10 billion closures per year), BERICAP is now engaged with another major challenge with HexaLite® closures at less than 1.5g, saving a minimum of 0.5g of plastic resin (HDPE), on new light weight neck finish for PET bottles saving at least 1.5g of PET resin, allowing savings of 2.0g per package.
Such program is part of a general commitment of BERICAP to offer to its customers a broad range of new closure and neck finish solutions to help them develop sustainable packaging solutions in key FMCG markets:
This ambitious program of BERICAP is aimed at not only contributing to the reduction of consumption of non-renewable resources and of green house gas emissions (carbon footprint) ; but also at offering better and safer closure systems:
The new range of HexaLite® closures includes two main sizes:
Such savings per bottle, generate almost 2,000t of resin savings for each one billion bottles produced (and almost €3 million cost reductions) and an estimated reduction of 15,000t of green house gas emission (carbon footprint).
Several of the features that make BERICAP closures quite superior to the closures of its competitors have been introduced on the new HexaLite®:
New sports cap of its THUMB’UP® family are in development to match such new 26 and 29/25 neck finishes, as well as for the new light weight PCO 1881.
First customers such as CRISTALINE in France started in 2008 with an INTERBEAD version of HexaLite® 29/25 and several starts are planned for late 2008 and beginning of 2009 in Europe and North America with HexaLite® FB (FLEXBAND).
