Japan’s flexible and rigid plastics packaging boom is accelerating rapidly with PET packaging showing the strongest and fastest growth. Given the high propensity for consumer packaged products the average citizen places a lot of importance on quality packaging and presentation of products. This further drives the incentive for more innovative PET plastic pack formats.

It has one of the world’s highest PET bottle collection ratio of almost 90% as compared to other developed countries.

This is partly because recycling gets government support by means of appropriate regulations and consumer education. Hence many PET recycling projects have sprouted up in Japan recently with many firm conviction going towards food grade recyclates.
How soon will there be approval for 100% use of recycled foodgrade PET in Japan? 

What technologies are available to push Japanese recycling capabilities to the next level? 

Major retailers like 7 & I Holdings are doing their part to save the environment and in Feb last year, Automatic PET bottle collection machines have been
