(\u201cOrigin,\u201d \u201cOrigin Materials,\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NASDAQ: ORGN, ORGNW), the world\u2019s leading\u00a0carbon\u00a0negative materials company with a mission to enable the world\u2019s transition to sustainable materials, today announced it has created \u201call PET\u201d (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle caps, making \u201c100% recycled PET\u201d possible from cap to bottle to improve post-consumer recycling.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin\u2019s PET caps are more sustainable than common alternatives because they may be produced with any type of PET, from recycled PET to Origin\u2019s 100% bio-based,&nbsp;carbon-negative virgin PET. PET offers better oxygen and CO<sub>2<\/sub>&nbsp;barrier than HDPE and PP, common cap materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin\u2019s patent-pending, cost-competitive design and manufacturing innovation aids in producing \u201cmono-material\u201d products. These are composed of only a single type of material, are typically easier to recycle than products made from multiple materials, and are highly sought-after for consumer packaged goods to improve recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cWe identified a global sustainability challenge and an opportunity to solve it,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>John Bissell, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of\u00a0Origin Materials<\/strong>. \u201cAn all-PET bottle and cap and closure system is an obvious, necessary next step in beverage packaging and recycling. With our process, we can make caps from 100% recycled PET or 100% bio-based PET, unlocking important sustainability and potentially performance benefits for our customers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Origin\u2019s innovation is expected to begin to address an approximately&nbsp;$65 billion&nbsp;global caps and closures market, anticipated to grow to&nbsp;$96 billion&nbsp;by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThis is what happens when you bring together some of the best materials and polymer scientists and engineers in the world under one roof,\u201d said <strong>Bissell<\/strong>. \u201cWe saw an obvious need for a mono-material solution and the creativity of our team rose to the challenge. I am proud that our team\u2019s expertise in PET led to this tremendous advancement for recycling.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Cap tethering mandates, designed to incentivize the recoverability and recyclability of bottles, could further increase the demand for Origin\u2019s innovative caps and closures. Tethering mandates require that caps remain firmly attached to bottles after opening and during the product&#8217;s life cycle, with the aim of reducing plastic litter on beaches and in the ocean. While traditional caps must be separated from PET bottles during recycling, Origin\u2019s PET caps would not need to be separated from their tethered containers and could thus be recycled simply and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For product inquiries, contact&nbsp;<a>bizdev@originmaterials.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About&nbsp;Origin Materials<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Headquartered in&nbsp;West Sacramento,&nbsp;Origin Materials&nbsp;is the world&#8217;s leading&nbsp;carbon&nbsp;negative materials company. Origin\u2019s mission is to enable the world\u2019s transition to sustainable materials. For over a decade, Origin has developed a platform for turning the&nbsp;carbon&nbsp;found in inexpensive, plentiful, non-food biomass such as sustainable wood residues into useful materials while capturing&nbsp;carbon&nbsp;in the process. Origin\u2019s patented technology platform can help revolutionize the production of a wide range of end products, including clothing, textiles, plastics, packaging, car parts, tires, carpeting, toys, fuels, and more with a&nbsp;~$1 trillion&nbsp;addressable market. In addition, Origin\u2019s technology platform is expected to provide stable pricing largely decoupled from the petroleum supply chain, which is exposed to more volatility than supply chains based on sustainable wood residues. Origin\u2019s patented drop-in core technology, economics and&nbsp;carbon&nbsp;impact are supported by a growing list of major global customers and investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patent-pending PET caps and tamper-resistant closures can be cost-competitively produced using recycled PET or bio-based PET \u201cMono-material\u201d makes \u201c100% recycled PET\u201d possible from cap to bottle and improves recyclability because it is all one material, without the need for recyclers to separate caps from bottles PET offers better oxygen and CO2\u00a0barrier than HDPE and PP, [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","nova_meta_subtitle":"PET caps are more sustainable than common alternatives because they may be produced with any type of PET, from recycled PET to Origin\u2019s 100% bio-based, carbon-negative virgin PET","footnotes":""},"categories":[5572,17143],"tags":[15626,10416,7105,14007,11966,10453],"supplier":[13188],"class_list":["post-130337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bio-based","category-recycling","tag-biopet","tag-circulareconomy","tag-packaging","tag-pet","tag-plastics","tag-recycling","supplier-origin-materials"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130337\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130337"},{"taxonomy":"supplier","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/supplier?post=130337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
