Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 14, 2017 -- Petainer, the market leader in innovative PET packaging, has launched a new water cooler bottle to challenge traditional polycarbonate and PET coolers.

petainerCooler™ is a fully recyclable, reusable water cooler with market-leading durability and strength, outperforming other PET water cooler bottles in drop tests. The cooler is compatible with existing filling equipment and washing lines, avoiding any capital investment required to switch to using the product. Key features include:

  • Unlike traditional polycarbonate coolers, petainerCooler™ is BPA-free, avoiding any health concerns surrounding the chemical
  • It is shrink-resistant to over 40 washing cycles at 145°F, removing micro-organisms - standard PET can only withstand 15 wash cycles at 145°F
  • petainerCooler is more robust in independent drop tests than standard PET
  • petainerCooler™ has a high-quality appearance with high scuff resistance, providing long-term visual appeal
  • It is available in a handled and non-handled option

Announcing the launch, Marc Kibbey, executive vice-president, North America, Petainer, said: “The launch of petainerCooler™ in the North American market is another great example of Petainer’s ability to develop disruptive solutions which offer a better user experience and higher quality product. petainerCooler™ offers a range of features which are superior to those of existing coolers making it more visually appealing, easier to handle and, importantly, BPA-free.”

Thanks to the two-stage process which means the cooler can been blown from a preform where it is filled, petainerCooler™ offers supply chain benefits which reduce logistics costs by up to 90%. PET is also more environmentally friendly than polycarbonate as it is fully recyclable and is accepted widely in recycling streams, compared to the specialist recycling facilities required for polycarbonate.

The Petainer water coolers are blow-molded in an ISO 9001 certified facility in Modesto, California and shipped directly from the location.

Notes to editors:

*BPA stands for bisphenol A. BPA is an industrial chemical that has been used to make certain plastics and resins since the 1960s. BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics.

Some research has shown that BPA can seep into food or beverages from containers that are made with BPA. Exposure to BPA is a concern because of possible health effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children. Additional research suggests a possible link between BPA and increased blood pressure.
