“Today is a key milestone for sustainable packaging and
recycling,” said Origin Co-CEO and Co-Founder John Bissell. “The
Origin CapFormer System has completed its Factory Acceptance Test
at commercial production scale. The industry has been searching for
PET caps for a long time and we are delighted to share that our
first-of-its kind system works spectacularly well. Through the
novel application of thermoforming, slit-and-fold technology, and
proprietary design elements we have unlocked the ability to produce
PET caps at commercial scale. We approached the problem differently
than anyone had previously and the result was a breakthrough. We
are addressing a $65 billion caps and closures market with a strong
leadership position, offering the first and only commercial-scale
solution for PET caps: the state-of-the art Origin CapFormer
System.”
Bissell added: “Our proprietary, industry-leading design enables
the Origin CapFormer System to deliver ultra-high-speed cap
production throughput. We have continued to increase our
performance efficiency during recent development runs and now have
achieved over 98% manufacturing efficiency on extended trials with
additional opportunities for improvement ahead. Our system is a
game-changer for packaging circularity and performance by enabling
the first-ever commercial production of PET caps – including caps
made from recycled PET, which is what you’re seeing in the video
released today.”
The Origin CapFormer System is expected to be transformative for
packaging, enabling 100% PET container-to-container beverage
recycling for the first time ever. Our Factory Acceptance Test
demonstrated the successful achievement of expected system
performance. Because of the CapFormer System’s unique design and
manufacturing approach, including the novel use of thermoforming
coupled with world-class slit and fold technology for PET closure
production and key proprietary design elements, the system can
operate at high levels of efficiency while opening new design
spaces for packaging.
“The first Origin CapFormer System has already made several
million PET caps using recycled PET plastic, and we’re just getting
started,” said Bissell. “Looking ahead, we expect Origin CapFormer
Systems to produce caps not only for a diverse array of beverage
bottles, but food packaging, medical products – the possibilities
are extensive and incredibly exciting.”
Origin’s PCO 1881-compatible caps, which can be made with virgin
or recycled PET, will be available beginning in Q4 2024, with PCO
1881-compatible tethered caps and other cap types to follow
afterward. To learn more about Origin’s PET caps and closures,
