The Potential For PET
in The Packaging of Liquid Dairy Products
The milk
market presents a significant new opportunity
for PET. Milk consumption volumes are comparable
to those of major soft drinks in many countries.
Dairy companies have historically done little
to market milk effectively. The industry is changing
and becoming more concerned with improving the
image of milk. Major changes are taking place
in the structure of the industry as it becomes
more dynamic and customer orientated.
The industry is looking for
new value added opportunities in plain and flavoured
milks as a beverage competitor to traditional
soft drinks.
Packaging is a key tool in this process
of repositioning the product. Milk presents special
challenges given that it is an ideal medium for bacterial
growth and has to be treated, packed and distributed
in a closely controlled manner. New processes and techniques
are changing the demands on packaging.
PET is now being used extensively,
but just how big is the potential? How does it compare
with competing packs such as cartons and glass? What
additives / polymer modifications will increase the
opportunities?
