First Origin PET caps have officially hit store shelves in California through a pilot launch with new alkaline beverage brand ‘Power Hydration.’ This first-of-its-kind product features a recyclable PET bottle and cap — delivering full mono-material recyclability from top to bottom. Origin’s 1881 closure design offers both sustainability and performance, representing a major advance in beverage packaging technology.

By eliminating mixed-material closures, the PET caps improve recycling efficiency and support a circular packaging model. Power Hydration’s early adoption demonstrates how nimble, sustainability-driven brands can lead innovation in packaging, setting an example for the beverage sector at large. The launch also marks a significant milestone in Origin’s broader mission to replace conventional caps with fully recyclable PET alternatives across the industry.

This debut positions Origin to capture market share in the $65B caps and closures segment by providing a scalable, recyclable solution. The partnership with Power Hydration serves as a proof-of-concept for larger beverage brands, potentially accelerating adoption and driving demand for mono-material packaging innovations in mainstream markets.
