Imakethe yamabhodlela epulasitiki yomhlaba kulindeleke ukuthi ikhule kakhulu ngesikhathi sesibikezelo. Izicelo ezikhulayo ezimbonini zemithi nezimonyo ziqhuba ukufunwa kwamabhodlela epulasitiki. Uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izinto ezingaguquguquki, ezibizayo, ezintekenteke nezisindayo (njengeglasi nensimbi), isidingo sePET emaphaketheni okwenziwa ngamaphilisi siye sanda. Izinto ezibonakalayo ze-PET kungukukhetha kokuqala kwezinhlelo zokupakisha zomlomo eziqinile. I-PET ijwayele ukusetshenziselwa ukupakisha amalungiselelo oketshezi ngomlomo oketshezi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, yipulasitiki esetshenziswa kakhulu ukufakwa kwemithi yabantu abadala nezingane, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamehlo. Izinkampani eziningi ezenza imithi zisebenzisa izindlela ezahlukahlukene nezinto zokwakha ukupakisha imikhiqizo ye-ophthalmic. Amabhodlela epulasitiki ajwayele ukusetshenziselwa ukupakisha imikhiqizo ye-ophthalmic, ngokuya ngezidingo zemikhiqizo ethile. Amabhodlela epulasitiki avame ukwenziwa nge-high-density polyethylene (HDPE), i-low-density polyethylene (LDP), i-polypropylene (PP) nezinye izinto. Ngokwezwe, ngenxa yesidingo esandayo sokupakishwa kwepulasitiki nokwandiswa kwezimboni zemithi nezokudla neziphuzo esifundeni, isifunda sase-Asia-Pacific kulindeleke ukuthi sifeze ukukhula okungahle kube khona ngesikhathi sokubikezela. Ngokwesibikezelo se-Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), ngonyaka ka-2025, imboni yezemithi yaseNdiya izobe ifinyelela kwizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu zamadola aseMelika. Phakathi kuka-Ephreli 2000 noMashi 2020, utshalomali oluqondile lwangaphandle oludonswe yimboni yezemithi lufinyelele kuma-US $ 16.5 billion. Lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi imboni yezemithi yezwe iyanda, okungabuye kusheshise ukufunwa kwamabhodlela epulasitiki okufakwa emaphaketheni aqinile futhi alula okulungisa imithi. Abanye babadlali abakhulu emakethe kubalwa i-Amcor plc, Berry Global Group, Inc. Gerresheimer AG, Plastipak Holdings, Inc. kanye neGraham Packaging Co .. Ababambiqhaza beMakethe basebenzisa amasu athile abalulekile, njengokuhlanganiswa nokuthengwa, ukwethulwa komkhiqizo, kanye ukubambisana ukwenza ngcono ukuncintisana. Isibonelo, ngoJulayi 2019, iBerry Global Group, Inc. ithole i-RPC Group Plc (RPC) cishe ama-US $ 6.5 billion. I-RPC ingumhlinzeki wezixazululo zokupakisha zepulasitiki. Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-Berry ne-RPC kuzosenza sikwazi ukuhlinzeka ngezixazululo zokuvikela okungeziwe futhi sibe ngenye yezinkampani ezinkulu kakhulu zokupakisha zepulasitiki.
