Business Wire
Constar International Inc. (NASDAQ:CNST), a leading global producer
of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic containers, was
selected to play an instrumental role in the recent launch of
Yellow Jersey�, an important new line of fine wines from Boisset
Vins & Spiritueux, Bourgogne, France. The Liquor Control Board
of Ontario (LCBO) dubbed this new package �the smart bottle�, and
Constar�s MonOxbar� active oxygen scavenger is the technology that
made it possible. The bottle is designed and produced by MPI
Packaging of Mississauga, Ontario using preforms supplied by
Constar with its proprietary MonOxbar� active oxygen scavenger
material. This barrier bottle is the first 750 ml PET wine bottle
commercially manufactured in North America. In addition to its
shelf life capability, MonOxbar� PET offers advantages of being
unbreakable, re-sealable, recyclable, and lighter weight for
reduced transportation cost and municipal solid waste. �This new
packaging was chosen for reasons of sustainability and performance.
We needed a package that would protect our premium wines,�
commented Jean-Charles Boisset, President of Boisset Vins &
Spiritueux. Boisset added, �A key driver was our desire to satisfy
the LCBO�s environmental initiative which aims to educate brand
owners to consider more sustainable packaging materials. Both the
company and I have a firm commitment to environmental
preservation.� Alan Silverman, Constar�s Vice President of
Intellectual Property and Environmental Sustainability explained,
�We are extremely pleased to have contributed to this packaging
solution for Boisset and the LCBO. This latest conversion to the
MonOxbar� material for PET demonstrates the ever-growing preference
for plastic bottles among branded consumer goods companies for even
the most �traditional� products. Equally important is the role of
MonOxbar� to significantly expand those opportunities.� Many major
consumer products companies are entrusting their oxygen-sensitive
products to MonOxbar�. Applications include premium fruit juices,
enhanced waters, ketchup, and now, wine. MonOxbar� provides the
benefit of keeping these products looking and tasting fresh. At the
same time, its monolayer construction allows for greater design
freedom, while providing a highly cost effective barrier packaging
solution. About Constar Philadelphia-based Constar International
