Ant Packaging now manufactures a range of PET plastic bottles specifically designed
for the aromatherapy market. Many essential oils used for aromatherapy require a
strong bottle that does not leak, nor 'panels' due to the plastic's reaction with
the oils. This is especially prevalent in polyethylene plastic bottles.
In the past,
these products have been packaged in glass. At the filling stage, glass bottles
can present problems with irregular sides, base rock, lid fit, condensation, breakages,
and their weight adds significantly to transport costs.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
conclude that PET recyclable plastic bottles are more environmentally sustainable
than glass. This is especially so the longer transport distances become in getting
the finished product to the end-user. The LCA concludes that using PET bottles instead
of glass can decrease Global Warming Potential (GWP) by 14% and reduce the use of
fossil resources by 23%.
Ant Packaging's PET recyclable plastic aromatherapy bottles
have low gas-vapor transmission rates to maintain the integrity of the bottle and
its contents. With good surface aesthetics and an unlimited range of colour possibilities,
including tints and metallics Ant Packaging's fully recyclable PET plastic aromatherapy
bottles can solve some OH&S and filling issues whilst transporting your beautiful
finished product to your end-user at significantly reduced freight costs.
