Plastic Closures must be made of PE or PP.Do not use Aluminum Closures.

Bottles must be made of only Clear PET (no color). When use multi-layer / coating for barrier, must evaluate a recycling performance.

Labels must be easily removable by hand.

Voluntary Design Guideline for Designated PET bottles= Obligation of PET Bottle Manufacturers & Users

Feasibility Study on Reuse of PET Bottle was started in 2008 and the Report was issued by the Ministry of Environment in 2009The report concluded that the Returnable System of PET Bottle was Superior to the One Way System in LCA only in the Following Conditions;

Collection Rate of the Bottle : More than 90%Distance of Deliver / Return : Within 100 km

Scheme of Packaging Recycling Law sharing Obligation among PET Bottle Manufacturer & User, Consumer and Municipality is Quite Effective

Keeping High Collection RateKeeping High Quality of BaleA Big Problem : Most of PCR are exported to China

Mechanical BtoB Recycling was started.Voluntary Action Plan for 3R Promotion is Very Effective
