Market Share of Europe Plastic Bottles Industry
The European plastic bottles market is fragmented due to the presence of several market players. Some major players are Amcor Group GmbH, Alpla Group, Berry Global Inc., Gerresheimer Inc., and Plastipak Holdings Inc. The players are expected to leverage the opportunities posed by the growth of several end-user verticals and are innovating to expand their market presence.
- May 2024: ALPLA, a leading company in plastic packaging, unveiled a new recyclable wine bottle crafted from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This innovative packaging aims to slash carbon footprints by as much as 50% and offer potential cost savings of up to 30%. Currently, the bottles, offered in 750ml and one-liter sizes, are being used by Wegenstein, an Austrian wine producer and the solution's pilot customer and development partner.
- November 2023: German water bottle company Air Up GmbH teamed up with specialty material firm Eastman to launch a fresh line of reusable bottles. Targeted at the European market, this new bottle range utilizes Eastman’s Tritan Renew material, boasting 50% certified recycled content, leveraging Eastman’s advanced molecular recycling technology. This innovative technology deconstructs hard-to-recycle plastics into their fundamental molecular components, enabling their repurposing into new polymers. The collaboration led to Air Up’s Generation Two bottles featuring Tritan Renew, offered in two convenient sizes: 600ml and one liter. These lightweight, durable bottles are crafted at production facilities located within the European Union.
