Origin Materials (“Origin”) (NASDAQ: ORGN, ORGNW), a forward-thinking technology firm dedicated to facilitating the global shift to sustainable materials, has announced a strategic partnership with Royal Hordijk Packaging (“Hordijk”), a premier Dutch producer of sustainable plastic packaging solutions, to mass produce PET bottlecaps.
Hordijk boasts over a century of expertise in packaging innovation, underscored by a commitment to sustainability and progress in circular packaging. The company engineers and manufactures plastic solutions tailored for the food and drink packaging, personal care, pharmaceutical, and horticultural industries, serving clients in more than 25 countries. Hordijk will leverage its PET extruders to create extruded sheet materials for Origin’s CapFormer production lines, which will be operated at Hordijk’s EU facilities. This advanced CapFormer technology will convert the PET sheet into bottlecaps, including innovative tethered caps, using high-speed machinery backed by premier operations and technical support.
Origin Materials CEO John Bissell remarked: “Hordijk combines expert manufacturing, a robust base of operations in Europe, and significant global reach. Further, Hordijk brings PET extruders and extrusion expertise to our operations that can drive capital cost efficiency for CapFormer lines. We look forward to producing billions of PET caps together and carrying packaging forward to its next evolution.”
Rik Hennink, CEO at Hordijk, added: “At Hordijk, we believe the future of packaging is circular, and we are committed to innovation and reducing environmental impact. Partnering with Origin to mass produce PET bottlecaps and investing in extrusion to scale production aligns with our mission and roadmap. We believe mono-material packaging solutions produced with Origin point toward the future of high-performing, sustainable products.”
Origin’s PET caps represent a significant advancement in food and drink sustainable packaging. These innovative caps enhance recyclability—particularly through tethering—enable lightweight designs, and extend product shelf life, all while addressing a market exceeding $65 billion. Collaborating with esteemed partners like Hordijk, we tackle some of the most pressing sustainability challenges, reinforcing our commitment to transitioning the world toward sustainable materials.
