Frequently Asked Questions

Water Preforms questions answered.

Three references for the 5-gallon segment: 340g (single-use), 360g (heavy-duty single-use), and 668.5g Co-PET (returnable, validated for 25+ refill cycles). All use the 55mm neck finish standard for 5-gallon water dispensers. The 668.5g Co-PET is suitable for closed-loop programs with up to 100% rPET integration.

Yes — this is one of our most established engineering programs. We have a published case study where we converted a 600ml water SKU from 12g to 10.5g with full validation: drop-test, top-load, stress-cracking, and 90-day shelf-life trial. Material savings of 1.5g per unit translates to ~1,200 metric tons of PET reduced annually at typical bottler volumes.

+400 million preforms per month total platform capacity, with water typically accounting for 50%+ of that volume. Multi-year supply agreements anchor major water bottling customers. Lead times for approved SKUs: 4-8 weeks from PO to first delivery. Multi-year contracts unlock dedicated capacity allocation.

Approved water-segment partnerships include: Aquafina (PepsiCo), Dasani (Coca-Cola), Almarai, Al Manhal, and regional bottlers across MENA, GCC, and East/West Africa. Tier-1 brand qualification covers food-contact compliance, audit response, and supply continuity.
