The market includes a wide range of product types, including bottles and jars, trays, containers, films and sheets, as well as pouches. These products are used in both rigid and flexible packaging formats, depending on the specific application. PET packaging is widely used for food and beverage storage, as well as in personal care, household, industrial, and pharmaceutical applications.
