Demand for plastic packaging in the United States has grown at an average annual rate of more than 4%, and it is expected to reach 13 billion by 2004 (this data includes various plastic containers that penetrate the glass, paper, metal, and other applicable fields). The small bottle packaging in the soft drinks market has yet to grow.
The transparent, high barrier, plastic, and resealable properties of PET bottles have enabled them to continue to grow in the soft drinks market and have gradually replaced aluminum cans. The aseptic filling of PET containers is mainly active in the juice, juice and beverage markets. The market share is expected to increase from the current 6% to 30% in 2004.
Since the advent of PET in the bottled beer market, consumer demand for it has continued to expand. Although there has been no significant impact on other packaging formats, PET manufacturers' continuous improvement in oxygen barrier properties and heat resistance has made PET Bottles are very competitive. In 2002, the number of PET bottles used for beer packaging in the United States was 150 million bottles, which was three times that of 1999. In 2001, the figure reached 300 million bottles, which also dominated the beverage market.
2, glass containers
The production of beer used a large number of glass bottles. In 1992, the volume of bottled beer was 12.8 billion bottles. In 2000, it was only 18.4 billion bottles. In 2001, it reached 18.8 billion bottles. In the field of beer packaging, metal cans have the largest share, but have grown at a low level in the past eight years; glass bottles account for about 36% of the total. In fruit juice beverage packaging, the use of glass bottles is decreasing. In 2000, there were only 8.6 billion bottles. In 2001, it was reduced to 8.2 billion bottles. Glass bottles, like other packaging, are constantly being impacted by PET bottles. However, some people think that from the overall perspective of the beverage market, PET bottles in some aspects can not occupy all markets, especially in the high-quality soft drinks and beer market still use glass bottles as containers, which also shows that The development of beverage packaging presents a diversified trend.
3, metal containers
Although PET packaging has occupied some markets, metal cans still have the support of manufacturers and consumers. Metal packaging beverages increased from 57.4 billion in 1992 to 67.4 billion in 2000 and 68.1 billion in 2001. However, it is worth noting that in 1998, the maximum amount of metal cans listed reached 69.4 billion, which has since declined. This indicates that PET packaging has caused some impact on the market, but it has not had much impact at this stage.
In aluminum cans, 12-ounce cans accounted for more than half of the sales. Of the 34.4 billion cans sold in 1999, 29 billion were of this type. As consumers purchase more drinks outdoors, the number of discarded packages also increases, which, to some extent, has begun to affect the recycling of packaging. After six years of investigation, the amount of discarded beverages has tripled in this period. In 1998, the number of aluminum cans recycled was 43.6 billion cans.
