Closure Systems International - CSI

We're growing.

CSI has acquired two beverage closure compression molding facilities from Amcor — one in Erie, Pennsylvania and one in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

These facilities bring deep manufacturing expertise in high-volume beverage applications, including carbonated soft drinks, water, hot-fill, protein, isotonic, and juice products. Combined, they add more than 300,000 square feet of production space to our North American footprint.

We're welcoming the Erie and Hattiesburg teams and look forward to building on the strong foundation already in place — while continuing to deliver the quality, reliability, and service our customers count on.

A recent industry analysis published in Packaging Dive analysis confirms what our customers are telling us every day: Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) has moved from legislative discussion to implementation in 2026. Brands and retailers who are ahead on recycled content now have a meaningful compliance advantage over those who aren't.

Oregon, Minnesota and Colorado have EPR programs. Maryland and Washington passed laws in 2025 requiring producers to reimburse up to 90% of recycling costs. California's SB 54 and SB 343 are tightening the definition of what "recyclable" and "recycled content" actually mean — with real compliance deadlines and penalties. New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island are next in line.

In practical terms for beverage and consumer goods, brands packaging decisions are no longer just a sustainability story. They are a cost, compliance, and credibility calculation.

CSI’s PolyCycle® closures use GreenCircle-certified PCR resin — available in polyethylene and polypropylene across 90+ formats and brand colors. They are 100% recyclable and meet or exceed virgin resin performance in CO₂ retention, torque, taste and odor neutrality, and stress crack resistance.

For brands advancing recycled-content packaging in response to EPR and consumer expectations, PolyCycle® closures provide a verified, scalable path to circularity — ensuring recycled content extends beyond the bottle to the full package.
