20L PET Drum
08/03/2022A sustainable Valgroup innovation
In 2018, Valgroup launched the 20 liter drum made of PET, at the expense of HDPE (high density polyethylene), the traditional raw material in the production of drums.
Besides being 100% recyclable, this innovation has a design that eases palletization and handling, and ensures a significant weight reduction. At 453g, the 20L PET container can be up to 56% lighter in relation to containers of the same volume composed of HDPE.
The reduction in weight also makes the logistics chain more economic, reduces the volume of possible discarded materials and contributes to a carbon footprint reduction for the entire production chain.
Other benefits of the 20L PET Drum are:
- Transparency, which allows for visibility of the product that will be consumed;
- Efficient closing systems;
- Versatile. Productive system that allows a variety of shapes, with low investment in the mold value.
- Resistant, does not break at the production line.
- Versatility. Allows the filling of the most varied products because it has great chemical resistance
- The best package weight/content ratio on the market
- Because they are light, they use the least amount of raw material in their
- manufacture and save energy;
- Encourages a circular economy;
- Favors the implementation of in-house blow molding.
Valgroup develops solutions that support the development of the circular economy without sacrificing performance and reliability that the market demands. Therefore, in addition to offering quality products for the most diverse industries, such as the PET drum, Valgroup also contributes to the preservation of the environment.
