€17.5m invested in our Montreal site for rPET meat trays in North America

The new operation, in a state-of-the-art facility, can process 23 kilotonnes of post-consumer PET flakes annually, collected from municipal recycling facilities.

We are also investing €12 million in major capital throughout 2020 and 2021 to further develop our factories in Crumlin, Wales; Ritterhude, Germany; and Melbourne, Australia. This will allow us to substantially increase our rPET tray and rigid film capacity.
