The bottle is produced from Eastar™ Renew EN031, Eastman’s chemically recycled PET that delivers performance and quality equivalent to virgin resin. This collaboration represents a major advance in sustainable beverage packaging, offering brands a scalable, real-world solution for achieving 100% recycled content* in their bottles while maintaining clarity and purity and meeting sustainability goals. 

With decades of experience in preforms and PET bottles, Doloop is uniquely positioned to convert Eastman Eastar Renew PET resin into high-performance beverage packaging. This partnership underscores the commitment of both companies to drive the circular economy by integrating chemically recycled PET with industry expertise. 

“Doloop has long been a pioneer in regenerative PET packaging,” said Dovydas Stulpinas, CEO of Doloop. “Partnering with Eastman enables us to offer the beverage industry a solution that meets the highest sustainability and quality standards. We look forward to welcoming attendees at Drinktec to see the bottle’s clarity and feel, and to share how this collaboration can serve as a replicable model for circular packaging across Europe and beyond.”

Eric Dehouck, managing director of Eastman’s circular economy platform, added, “Innovation has positioned Eastman to lead, but collaboration is essential for plastic packaging to become circular. The Doloop relationship illustrates how supplier partnerships play a key role in preparing a market to address not only existing regulations but also those on the horizon.” 

Eastman and Doloop’s joint presence at Drinktec 2025 will also highlight the strong market potential in regions with advanced deposit-return systems, such as the Nordic countries, where the demand for high-quality recycled content is rapidly growing. Their collaboration demonstrates a pathway for beverage producers, packaging engineers and sustainability leaders to adopt circular, chemically recycled PET with confidence.
