Polypropylene and High-density Polyethylene Challenge PET Blowmolded Containers


Description: New process technology and resin developments for polypropylene and HDPE resins, innovations in clarifiers, UV barriers, and resin costs suggest PET might soon be facing stiffer competition from other polymers. This study examines the competitive landscape for blowmolded plastic containers for the 2003-2007 time frame.
