Yes it is. Detailed studies have been completed investigating all the health, safety and environmental aspects of using PET in refillable bottle systems.
Cleansing processes must be adequate to remove all bacteriological contaminants or render them inactive by sterilisation. Procedures have been developed to clean and sterilise the containers to the same performance standards set for similar glass containers. Repeated cleaning tests with bottles of ''rough'' interior wall surfaces and contaminated with mixed spoilage yeasts compared favourably with similar glass packages.
A Code of Practice is applied to refillable bottles which ensures maximum product safety and complete acceptance to the consumer.
