Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/18/2012 -- Sales of carbonates experienced a strong deceleration in 2011 compared with previous years, mostly due to price increases (IPI tax rise), more severe weather and rising inflation. In the year, sales of carbonates were also affected by increases in sugar prices and rising packaging costs, such as PET resins. On the other hand, the increase in plastic packaging costs encouraged the leading manufacturers to invest more in returnable bottles in order to compensate for high increases in PET bottles.
