Introduction
As global markets increasingly emphasize sustainability, packaging innovation is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. With governments tightening environmental regulations and consumers favoring eco-friendly products, the beverage industry must swiftly adapt to remain competitive.
Nguyen Pham Viet Beverage Co., Ltd (NPV), one of Vietnam’s leading beverage manufacturers, is proactively responding to this trend by implementing tethered caps across a growing range of export products.
This article explores why tethered caps are becoming the new packaging standard, how NPV complies with strict EU regulations, and the benefits this innovation brings to ODM/OEM partners worldwide.
What Are Tethered Caps?
Tethered caps are bottle closures designed to stay attached to the bottle neck even after opening. Unlike traditional caps that are completely removable, tethered caps reduce plastic waste and support more effective recycling processes.
This design reflects the growing movement toward eco-conscious packaging, promoting circular economy goals and minimizing negative environmental impacts.
EU Regulations on Plastic Packaging
The European Union is leading the charge in enforcing environmental legislation. Under the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) 2019/904, starting July 2024, all plastic beverage bottles up to 3 liters sold within the EU must feature tethered caps—including imported products.
This means beverage manufacturers and exporters targeting the EU must comply or risk losing access to the market.
Nguyen Pham Viet Beverage Co., Ltd views this not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to demonstrate its world-class manufacturing capabilities and strong commitment to sustainability.
NPV’s Commitment to Sustainable Packaging
Driven by a mission to grow responsibly, NPV prioritizes the use of natural ingredients, energy-efficient production, and green packaging innovation.
The company is currently integrating tethered caps into key product lines, including:
- Fruit juice drinks
- Coconut water
- Aloe vera drinks
- Carbonated beverages, and more
From packaging design and machinery investment to product safety testing, NPV executes every stage with precision to meet EU export standards.
