The 300ml PET bottle for Marks & Spencer’s Essential Extracts personal care range incorporates 30% PCR material, the optimum amount of material that can be included into the bottles while ensuring they continue to deliver a high quality performance.

 

In particular, the bottles maintain an excellent translucent clarity which enables the products to be clearly visible, contributing to a high impact on-shelf presence.

 

The M&S Essential Extracts range offers products such as handwash and hand & body lotion. As part of M&S’ Plan A, its ethical and environmental plan, the retailer is committed to increasing the amount of packaging made from more sustainable raw materials such as recycled plastics.

 

"These bottles are a further development of our capabilities in the use of PCR materials, widening its potential into new market sectors,” comments Bryan Glasper, General Manager, RPC Llantrisant.

 

"Our technical development work is continuing to enable us to increase the percentage of PCR in our bottle ranges in the future, where it is deemed appropriate.”
