New Barrel with Recycled Polymeric Closure Hoop
Specific Objectives
Develop a new barrel and its corresponding closure hoop using only polymeric-based raw material. The fact that all of the packaging shares the same base raw material will allow for easier recycling.
This product is intended to be safer and reusable, given the increase in safety associated with handling a plastic piece compared to a metal piece, which has sharp edges resulting from cutting and bending the steel.
Additionally, it is expected to reduce the carbon footprint through the optimization of production processes, including the corresponding reduction of packaging weight.
