Detachable bottle tops frequently cause pollution to parks, beaches, and oceans, endangering wildlife and becoming environmental dangers. Origin’s invention guarantees that bottle lids stay on, addressing environmental issues as well as new EU legislation requiring tethered caps. Unwoven

Because there’s no need to separate caps from bottles during recycling thanks to this innovative cap, which is composed entirely of PET, recycling is improved. Maintaining connections between caps lowers the possibility of loose litter and improves recycling purity, preventing PET plastic from being downcycled and ensuring it stays in use.

Origin Materials’ co-founder and co-CEO, John Bissell, emphasizes that their PET cap technology is appropriate for use in the EU and other areas that are likely to enact comparable laws. The caps are lightweight, environmentally friendly, and user-friendly. They can be made from virgin, recycled, or bio-based PET. Unwoven

This creative design delivers major sustainability advantages in addition to satisfying legal requirements. With its ability to solve a big market need and contribute to a more circular economy, Origin’s tethered PET cap is a key innovation in packaging, part of the $65 billion caps and closures business.
