HEET

We’re proud to introduce HEET, Verdeco’s revolutionary, sustainable hot fill packaging solution.
HEET is a groundbreaking solution for hot fill consumables that combines structural strength with eco-friendly sustainability. Hot fill is a packaging method that uses heat to sterilize strongly acidic liquid foods and beverages to extend their shelf life at non-refrigerated conditions. Despite their negative impact on the environment, glass and virgin plastic (PET) have historically been the material of choice for hot fill products due to their ability to withstand the high-heat process without compromising the container’s structural integrity.

Using 100% rPET pellets, HEET gives food and beverage packaging manufacturers a sustainable solution suitable for all FDA-regulated food and beverage products that require hot fill. Following the standard hot fill process, HEET allows for temperatures between 185 and 198 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the product. This kills any bacteria and ensures the product is sterilized before packaging. HEET is best used for sports drinks, alcoholic beverages, juices, teas, condiments, sauces, and marinades, making it an ideal solution for companies in the food and beverage industry.
