Petainer

Introducing the one-way PET keg, from Petainer, perfected over years to offer leading quality from filling a keg to filling a glass. Our kegs are the lightweight, carbon friendly, plug and play alternative to steel, saving you on costs to your bottom line, and to the environment.
Tests by leading scientific institutions have shown time and again there is no difference in the taste or carbonation levels between our kegs and steel and bagged solutions, whether exported long distance or coupled for up to 4 weeks, meaning your product tastes great wherever it is dispensed.

Release cash into your business with smaller steel keg floats and fill our kegs on your existing filling systems. In the bar, our kegs are easier to move, carry and stack. With all standard fitting types available, they can be dispensed with no extra cost for specialised equipment and recycled with no costly collection. Reusing our chimes saves on plastic while also saving up to 40% of costs.
More Petainer kegs can fit on a lorry than a traditional steel keg, making exporting cheaper and more environmentally friendly. We have teams in most countries meaning support on the ground wherever you have sent your kegs.

Refillable PET bottles are the most sustainable packaging solution for beverages. These robust bottles can be washed and refilled by the producer, saving the production of new packaging and the associated emissions. Compared to refillable glass their lightweight nature means that they are more carbon efficient and cost efficient. A refillable PET bottle can be reused up to 25 times, before being recycled and are bottle to bottle recyclable. They can fill on glass filling lines with small adjustments, making them a low capex solution.

Traditional refillable systems, as seen in South America and Germany, operate in a simple loop. Bottles are manufactured, sent to the filler to process and out to the market. Once the customer has consumed the beverage, they return the bottle to a designated point and reclaim a small deposit placed on the bottle. The final step is the bottle being returned to the producer to be washed and refilled.

For beverage producers, using 1L Refillable PET Bottles with 30% recycled content can lead to a carbon footprint reduction of 28% (vs 0% rPET), and against refillable glass has an 81% benefit in carbon reduction over its lifespan. Refillable PET bottles that are retired from the supply chain are simply removed from the bottle pool to be recycled and used in the production of new bottles. The recycled content coupled with the renewable energy powering Petainer’s sites, is helping brand owners meet their sustainability targets, and work towards becoming carbon neutral. At a time where customers perceive the end-of-life solutions of a product just as important as the carbon footprint, the Refillable PET Bottle with recycled PET is the ultimate sustainable solution. This combination of reuse, recycled content, and responsible end-of-life, makes Refillable PET Bottles perfectly suited for the circular economy.

Petainer Water Cooler Bottles are a BPA solution for bulk water delivery. Our portfolio includes single use, refillable blown bottles and preforms. Produced in a central European location, they are available with fast delivery. For customers looking to take production in house, our PET preforms offer a proven cost-effective solution.

Petainer bottles have scuff resistance to keep them looking clean and appealing to customers. The Petainer Water Cooler Bottle is tested to be robust, with drop tests and shrink tests showing many reuses are possible, up to 40 times. With PET, the neck of the bottle is smoother than polycarbonate, providing a better seal, and reducing leaks – a key problem for bulk water delivery.

Unlike polycarbonate options, the Petainer handle is not integrated into the body of the bottle; this is important for washing the bottles. Petainer Water Cooler Bottles are reusable, being filled, used, and returned to undergo the process again. The washing step is essential to ensure mineral water is uncontaminated after filling. With some polycarbonate options, the handle is integrated into the body of the bottle, meaning the flow of washing water can be restricted and leave this area less thoroughly cleaned.

Petainer works with large water brands across the world.

PET plastic bottles offer a clear transparent finish and are durable and shatter resistant, making them suitable for beer bottles, chemical bottles, juice bottles, soda bottles, water bottles, alcohol etc. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic is often used in beverage bottles as it is semi-rigid, lightweight and consumes less energy to produce than that of other solutions. Research has shown that both aluminium cans and glass bottles consume more energy during production. Petainer PET plastic bottles meet the highest industry standards for safety, quality and sustainability. The Petainer PET Plastic Bottles range has been specially designed to store and keep a wide range of carbonated and non-carbonated drinks over time, thanks to its high standard of O2, CO2 and light barriers. Along with many other applications.
Our bottles are manufactured with 100% renewable energy at our plants in Sweden and the Czech Republic. All our bottles are made with high quality, 100% recyclable PET, to ensure that they can be disposed of properly after use. We are experts in incorporating recycled content in to our bottles, with 100% recycled content possible for some design styles. With over 35 years of experience in specialist high stretch polymer engineering and a team of over 20 specialists, Petainer has the ability to manufacture unique custom Plastic Bottles to fit your packaging needs. Our diversified specialists include material scientists and engineers, injection and blow moulding experts, brewer masters and dispense technologists. Our dedicated polymer science team is focused on developing new materials, blending processes and protection barriers. They are able to advise on some of the most ground-breaking innovations which are just over the horizon. Using the latest technology, our team of design engineers work closely with our customers and ‘go to’ market commercial teams to bring design briefs to life. We can provide blow moulding machine evaluations for customers.

Petainer manufacture high-quality PET preforms for carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, food and household products
Petainer preforms come in a variety of neck finishes, weights, colours and shapes. Although most of our preforms are made from 100% virgin PET resin, we can supply preforms with up to 100% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) by request.
PET preforms bring many economic benefits. With high volume injection moulding capacity, Petainer guarantees efficient, economic production to produce volumes for your needs. We help customers minimise the usage of PET resin and deliver cost-effective packaging performance through optimal preform design. In the EU, by 2025, production of new bottles should contain at least 25% rPET, and 90% of all used PET should be collected and reprocessed. Petainer can offer up to 100% recycled PET (rPET) sourced from domestic waste streams to increase the proportion of recycled material in your PET preforms. Using rPET is an effective way of reducing your carbon footprint as it has a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions as virgin PET.
