and maintains it over the duration of the product ’ s shelf life . Enhance bottles can also integrate the use of post-consumer recycled ( PCR ) materials . As new state and federal legislation emerges , Ring is committed to offering solutions which help meet recycled content goals .
BarrierGuard OxygenSmart ( BGOS ) provides a further example of industry leading technological innovation . The technology is formally recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers ( APR ) as being non-detrimental to the clear PET recycling stream , a first to market for materials of this type . Traditional barrier systems cause problems with the recycling stream , inhibiting the industry ’ s ability to produce quality post-consumer resin . Utilizing BGOS , food products requiring oxygen barrier protection can now achieve freshness , material reduction , and recyclability . For example , a standard 20-ounce ketchup bottle made with this technology is ten percent lighter , the product ’ s shelf life is also increased up to 24 months , and bottles can be handled and inventoried without compromising the quality of the barrier . The success of this revolutionary product line has been one of the key drivers of recent growth .
Ring also employs patented technology in its TRIMLITE line of products to produce wide mouth PET containers . TRIMLITE technology offers up to 20 percent weight reduction for current applications . This enables Ring to pass the benefits of decreased costs , and better conserved resources throughout the supply chain to its customers who can channel these savings into their growth . The billions of TRIMLITE containers Ring has already produced are a testament to the superior performance of the technology year after year .
