Plastic pollution is a global challenge requiring coordinated, proactive solutions. At Husky Technologies, we are committed to addressing this issue through advocacy and innovation, working collaboratively with industry partners to promote sustainable practices.

Our advocacy efforts focus on advancing four critical recommendations:

1. Setting Recycled Content Targets to increase the use of recycled materials
2. Establishing Effective Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) systems to incentivize recycling and ensure accountability throughout the value chain.
3. Designing for Circularity to ensure products are optimized for reuse and recycling from inception.
4. Adopting Holistic Life-Cycle Evaluations to assess the environmental impact of all materials comprehensively.
5. These initiatives aim to unite the industry, calling on stakeholders to collaborate and join us in driving meaningful change

Beyond advocacy, Husky is pioneering innovations to enable the circular economy, including advancements in a FULL PET packaging. Our Husky COMPLETE™ solutions facilitate increased use of recycled PET (rPET) without compromising efficiency or quality, empowering businesses to achieve sustainability goals while maintaining performance standards. Together, through united efforts and cutting-edge innovation, we can close the loop and create a more sustainable future.

More Sustainability and Safety in PET Preform Production

Alexandra Stuber Key Account Manager PET

The production of preforms for PET beverage bottles has become increasingly demanding in recent years. On the one hand, there are increasing requirements due to the material mix and, on the other hand, a lack of expert knowledge. Netstal offers new solutions for these requirements. Thanks to these improved functions, expert knowledge is always available to all operators at the machine. This makes production more efficient and safer. In order to minimize the ecological footprint, technical innovations have been introduced on the Netstal PET-Line to further reduce energy consumption. This makes production more energy-efficient and cost-effective.
