OCTAL Polyester Sheet Cuts Carbon by 25% (Excerpt)
OCTAL Petrochemical’s DPET product, the world’s first direct-to-sheet polyester sheet, has a carbon footprint 25 percent lower than conventional APET packaging materials, it has emerged.
DPET can be used for packaging yogurt, meat, cheese, baked goods and household consumer goods. By deploying unique production methods, OCTAL has eliminated five energy intensive stages of the conventional sheet production process, says the Sustainability Consortium at the University of Arkansas, a body that has carried out work for the petrochemical firm.
