Presentation topic:
Creating a Snapshot of PCR Quality
Abstract
Abstract
With PCR, everything is a snapshot, and you must get data over a long period of time to get a base for what the true quality is from all suppliers. It isn’t as simple as you think. Through rigorous testing systems we can begin to understand what the quality issues may be with all types of PCR collections, from curbside to deposit, and set a roadmap of expectations and ways to ensure PCR success in your packaging.
Please join us while we explore beyond the basics, as we continually develop this study. We’ve discovered we must go beyond testing the pellets alone, to developing plaques, and all the way to an optimized preform and bottle design. If you saw us begin this discussion last year, you don’t want to miss this as we continue this discussion with new data and insights!
