Packaging the Future: Plastipak at Drinktec 2025

August 20, 2025

From bio-based resins, bottle-grade rPET to reuse packaging solutions and advanced barrier technologies, our team will highlight the innovations that help our customers reduce carbon footprints, advance circularity, and bring bold packaging ideas to life.

This year, we’re putting an extra spotlight on collaboration — because at Plastipak, innovation is never a solo act. It’s built together, with our customers, partners, and communities.

Sustainability at the Core

Our ESG commitment shapes everything we do. We design packaging to be both functional and beautiful, while minimizing environmental impact. Visitors will see:

+ Bottle-grade rPET made from recycled materials to drive circularity.

+ Bio-based resins that reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

+ Lightweighting technologies to lower material use without compromising performance.

Barrier & Performance Technologies

We’ll also showcase cutting-edge solutions that extend shelf life, reduce waste, and support product integrity:

+ Barrier Technologies: Monolayer and multilayer solutions that protect against oxygen, light, and CO₂ loss.

+ Hot Fill Designs: Both paneled and panel-less options to maintain product quality during high-heat filling.

+ Reuse Bottle Innovations: Lighter weight bottles with higher recycled content, ready for multiple rotations.

Creative Package Studio – Innovation in Real Time

At the heart of Plastipak’s creativity is our Creative Package Studio — where packaging concepts turn into reality. During Drinktec, you can watch our designers develop concepts live, showing how we help brands move from an idea to a shelf-ready solution.
