Polymer price data for beverage packaging
Beverage packaging ranges from PET bottles with their labels and closures through to HDPE bottles, which play a larger role above all in important European markets such as Italy, the UK, and France. For PET bottles produced in high unit numbers, the polymer price is a significant cost factor. Added to this are beverage cartons for milk and juices, in which polyethylene is used mainly as a coating and sealing layer.

Why polymer prices matter for beverage packaging:
Beverage packaging is shaped to a large degree by PET; movements in the PET price therefore show up particularly clearly in unit costs.
The PET price dominates costs: for bottles, the PET price determines a large part of the material costs.
Complementary materials: closures are mostly made from HDPE or PP; plastic labels are mainly PP, while shrink labels are made from PETG. In beverage cartons, PE is used as a coating and sealing layer.
Secondary material in view: the rising use of rPET makes its price development increasingly important.
