Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0528217A1] The volumes of returnable plastic bottles are increased before filling by means of a combined heat/internal pressure treatment. This compensates for the shrinking caused by cleaning with hot caustic solution and the number of times the bottle can be used is substantially increased. <IMAGE>
