Over the last decade, PET became the most important raw material for the packaging market (11 million tons of packaging at a global level). It is the leading material in terms of the production of packaging for water, soft drinks and carbonated drinks. In the food market, the consumption of PET has also risen sharply as a substitution for other plastics. This success is the result of this material's excellent combination of properties: its transparency, low density, elevated resistance, shape flexibility and solid organoleptic properties, among others.

The other properties are the object of constant improvements. The evolution of technologies and the use of PET together with other materials are some of the ways to overcome its weaker points. For example, the line of Evertis barrier films was designed for much lower gas permeability rates through the combination of PET, PE and EVOH.
