Coca-Cola bottler invests $21.7 million in PET preform/ blow molding in-house facility in France

Posted on : 17 Feb, 2015

 

Beverage giant Cocoa-Cola Enterprises (CCE) has begun injection molding preforms for PET bottles at its facility in Grigny, France, investing 16 million euros ($21.7 million).


The plant will produce preforms as well as blow mold for PET bottles. The in-house preform production will help the cola giant optimize costs, reduce transport volumes while also controlling finished products.


The new capacity will also use recycled PET content - the 1.5 liter PET bottle preforms will be manufactured using as much as 50% recycled PET. CCE plans to procure the rPET pellets from Infineo, a recycling JV between CCE and rigid packaging group APPE - based at APPE's facility near Beaune, France.


CCE and APPE have already made a joint investment worth 8.7 million euro ($11.8 million) at the Beaune facility in 2013, increasing its capacity by 70%.


More on PET bottling and rPET will be discussed at CMT's 16th GEPET (Greater Europe PET Resin Trade, Applications & Recycling) on 11-12 June, 2015 in Lyon, France.
