Petainer to produce recyclable PET vodka bottles

Petainer’s plant in Lidköping, Sweden, will manufacture 70 centilitre bottles for Galatea’s Sailor, a brand of organic vodka. Pertainer will also provide branded sleeves for the bottles.

Petainer says PET offers benefits over glass in terms of weight and materials use and can have a significantly lower ‘carbon footprint’ than equivalent glass packaging, quoting a PETRA report that says PET generates up to 77% less greenhouse gases and uses up to 58% less energy.
