PET Packaging Ready for Prime Time
PET packaging and recycling associations, PLASTICS, and Michigan State team up and enlist Dennis Quaid to educate consumers on the sustainability of plastic packaging.
Four organizations with an interest in promoting plastic packaging and a state university have launched a national campaign to educate consumers about the environmental benefits of plastic packaging and the importance of recycling.
Global packaging leader Amcor, the National Association for PET Container Resources (NAPCOR), Plastics Recycling Corp. of California (PRCC), Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS), and Michigan State University announced on Aug. 22 an episode of Public Television’s Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid and a series of national commercials will air on cable television. The campaign highlights the sustainability advantages of PET and raises awareness of the importance of its recycling. Petrochemicals ADA MEG rPET
A five-minute video presentation was made available on Aug. 14 to more than 175 public television stations nationwide. It will be in rotation for the next year. The campaign’s goal is to help US consumers make educated purchasing decisions and encourage recycling habits.
The truth about PET packaging
“The importance of debunking misconceptions of PET packaging and addressing the environmental advantages of PET containers is more important than ever,” said Laura Stewart, executive director of NAPCOR. “This program offered us an excellent opportunity to reach a broad audience with a critical message — based on facts — that has been getting lost amid misinformation. The truth, as verified by two recent life-cycle assessments including one by McKinsey & Co., shows the true impact of PET as the environmentally responsible packaging solution that can significantly contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, smog, and acid rain compared to other primary beverage packaging materials.”
In addition to Stewart, participants featured in the program include Eric Roegner, president of Amcor Rigid Packaging; Charlotte Dreizen, director, Sustainability and Environment, PLASTICS; Matt Daum, PhD, director, Michigan State University School of Packaging and assistant dean of Corporate Relations and Strategy for the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources; Sally Houghton, executive director, Plastic Recycling Corp. of California; and Kristin Kelley, vice president, Corporate Communications and External Affairs, Amcor Rigid Packaging.
The campaign also includes a 60-second commercial that will run nationally on FOX Business during prime time on Aug. 24 and 27. That same ad will be broadcast 400 times across the top 100 US media markets through the end of August.
