About EPROPLAST
EPROPLAST has specialized in the development and production of PET packaging for over 25 years. The company manufactures standard bottles as well as individual packaging solutions made from PET and recycled PET (rPET) with 30%, 50% or 100% recycled content. Its value chain includes design development following the Design for Recycling approach, in-house toolmaking, own preform manufacturing as well as pilot and series production, including hot-fill bottles – as a one-stop-shopping service with a single point of contact. The in-house preform production ensures consistently high bottle quality. Customers from the packaging and filling industries can use the online bottle finder to configure PET bottles by volume, neck finish and shape and submit inquiries directly. The company is certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 50001 as well as FSSC 22000 and has received multiple grants through EFRE and GRW programs of the Free State of Thuringia.
