The initiative will begin with 28mm cap formats, with plans to expand to additional sizes.<\/p>\n

Matrix Bottling Group currently works with a range of beverage industry clients, providing packaging, bottling, and distribution services for various product launches and promotional campaigns.<\/p>\n

Matrix Bottling Group sales director Baze Melamed commented: \u201cFor the packaging industry, this partnership represents a significant step forward for the mass adoption of PET caps and mono-material containers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt made sense to bring together our capabilities and customer base with Origin\u2019s PET cap, a remarkable innovation driving recyclability and packaging performance. We are thrilled to partner with Origin.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Origin, its PET caps differ from conventional polypropylene and HDPE caps in that they can be produced entirely from post-consumer recycled material.<\/p>\n

They are also suitable for use in food-grade applications and are manufactured using a thermoforming process rather than traditional injection or compression moulding.<\/p>\n

Origin Materials CEO John Bissell commented: \u201cBrands already need to work with their bottling partners to switch to PET caps. By partnering directly with progressive bottling companies like Matrix, Origin will remove a potential barrier to adoption and make it even easier for brands of all sizes to switch to PET closures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to partner with Matrix Bottling Group, initially in Las Vegas, Nevada, and with potential synergies at each of its multiple state-of-the-art US locations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last August, Berlin Packaging agreed to purchase Origin\u2019s PET caps<\/a>\u00a0for distribution to its network of beverage manufacturers, including PET 1881 caps.<\/p>\n
