wyrd miniatures produces a range of 32 mm metal and plastic miniatures , in several genres , for painters and gamers .

established and offering its first miniatures in 2005 , the company is owned by nathan caroland and eric johns .

in 2009 , wyrd published its first game , malifaux , set in a dystopian city in a parallel world .

in 2011 they introduced the board game puppet-wars .

the first years the company focused on casting miniatures for the wargaming and miniature painting market .

according to eric johns , it started with nathan putting together a few fun minis after having gotten friendly with a sculptor .

it was only in 2007 he and nathan decided to push forward as a real company and started developing their own game rules to go with their miniatures line .

after the release of malifaux in 2009 , which incorporated most of the miniature range , came a time of rapid expansion , and in march 2011 the company moved for the second time in 16 months allegedly to accommodate its growth , settling into a larger office and warehouse facility .

in 2012 the partnership with ghost studio led to wyrd introducing a new line of plastic miniatures for malifaux using an all-digital manufacturing workflow , the so-called freeform 3d solution from geomagic .

according to geomagic , their platform for designing organic shaped products can sculpt , texture or emboss products with detail and articulation that traditional geometric cad solutions simply can not handle .

wyrd’s way is a heathen owned company and has been in business since its founding in 2001 . wyrd’s way has been operated since 2006 by the current owners , two heathen artists who are dedicated to providing quality products and outstanding customer service to our friends .

wyrd miniatures , llc is an innovative game company dedicated to creating high quality games and fostering a positive community . through online competitions , event support , and local game store support , wyrd is constantly striving to bring tabletop gaming to new players around the world . this passion comes from their roots as a hobby - based miniatures company , and continues today in their growing operation in marietta , georgia .

ps some of our customers have been trying to telephone wyrd’s way . please note : the telephone number showing as wyrd’s way does not belong to wyrd’s way . this is an individual’s number that was used strictly for advertising purposes . wyrd’s way does not have a telephone and conducts all correspondence through email ( wyrdswayinfo @ aol . com ) or the us mail .

incorporated in january of 2000 , wyrd productions has been involved in the development of new theatre since 1995 . founded by rick miller and jeff lord as a company devoted to multi - disciplinary artistic creation , it has since evolved into one of canada’s leading international exporters of culture .

wyrdgames is a private company . for every employee , wyrdgames generates $ 37 . 7k in revenue . as of may 2018 , wyrdgames has 11 . 3k fans on facebook and 9 . 0k followers on twitter .

but , wyrd is still a very small company that ' s gained a lot of popularity , really quickly . these guys are so busy pouring their blood and sweat into next year ' s big thing , and more importantly making sure it ' s right , and having enough produced so we can buy them all up !

) is a global company dedicated to advancing and applying 3d technology for the benefit of humanity . geomagic’s scanning and design software solutions are used to capture and model 3d content from physical objects , organically sculpt complex shapes , and prepare products for manufacturing . in addition , the company produces powerful 3d metrology and inspection software that verifies dimensional quality by comparing as - built products to master designs . geomagic’s sensable phantom haptic devices simulate the sense of touch in a digital environment .

today , using geomagic ' s freeform , wyrd is moving from design to finished parts for five characters on one sprue in near - record time .

personally , i think reinstatement of wyrd chronicles would be great as a quarterly ' fluff buff ' type deal , maybe even with some designers notes .

i think enough people ( myself included ) have bugged nerdelemental enough to suggest that wyrd have registered peoples ' desire to see more fluff throughout the year .

i also think other models should see more love , like witchling stalkers , teddy , ten thunders brothers , etc . wyrd are just failing at hearing my cries . . .

it used to take from 90 to 120 days to move from design to manufactured part for a typical toy , but one company has found a way to manufacture their character figures in " far less time and achieve levels of detail that were difficult if not impossible to obtain in the past . " the new miniature character figures from wyrd ( pronounced ' weird ' ) miniatures debuted at the recent gen con , touted as the world ' s largest gaming show and featured miniatures for its hit character skirmish game " malifaux " .

potentially still valid but re - reading the op he really does seem to be only looking at it from a malifaux point of view rather than wyrd as a whole . . . .

but really , as long as i get my fix ( more often the better ) and wyrd don ' t screw up marcus , then i ' m as happy as a panda with a pumpkin .

seriously tho , i think wyrd are pretty down with the kids in the table top sense , would we all like to see another gw ? rebranding rather than innovating ? i wouldn ' t . .

see wyrd miniatures’ newest box sets in booth 1131 at gen con starting this thursday august 16 at the indiana convention center . find out more about geomagic and its freeform products at urltoken and www . sensable . com .

wyrd’s way exists to service those who have a desire to follow the norse / germanic traditions relating to the faith known as heathenry . we do not involve ourselves with politics or any movement other than the great reawakening of our folk .

ghost studio has invested a lot of effort and energy in engineering and fabricating the molds for wyrd miniatures . they ' ve developed a means of fixturing these inserts in the cnc machines to allow for precision machining of the cores and cavities .

wyrd has been able to streamline the process at the warehouse for inspection and quality control , and also realizes cost savings in shipping since the plastic figures - molded using hips with some sections molded from abs - weigh less than the metal products .

i would love to see the wyrd chronicles come back - or even some type of printed magazine . i have to say i am enjoying reading the fluff for malifaux more than any other game - ever . the writing is so cinematic - it just pulls you in . i for one would easily be willing to give wyrd more money for more stories of this quality . ( and it is a shame that the first book is out - of - print - the story there is great ! )

razor - sharp parting lines as most mold manufacturers know , family molds can be tricky to fill , but sivy noted that the company has the ability to regulate how these cavities fill , to the extent that they can eliminate shrink , swirls and flash . " that literally took us a few years of experimenting with software programs to address the various downstream processes , " he said . " we digitally create the mold splits to give us a razor - sharp edge in how they match up . these sharp parting lines eliminate flash . "

i can also attest to the fact it takes a while for the wheel to turn and with the amount of work wyrd undertake together with how big they are ( all the while advertising for more jobs ) , i ' d say they ' re showing tremendous effort putting out what they do .

wyrd ( pronounced “weird” ) and its product design firm , ghost studio , relied on the freeform® 3d modeling solution from geomagic , to digitally sculpt 40 miniatures for six new box sets , then used the digital designs as the basis of a streamlined digital manufacturing process that moves from art to production tooling via stl milling . the move to digital sculpting with freeform allowed wyrd to deliver exceptional detail that was previously not possible to achieve in metal figurines – detail that exactly reproduces and in some cases exceeds the detail in the original line art , even for intricately detailed miniatures such as hungering darkness and the windswept miss terious .

but i agree . while i am happy to see wyrd releasing alternatives ( so they do listen , huh ? ) i think we need to see the gencon climax ( sexual pun intended ) spread out a bit more throughout the year for healthier . . err . . . business growth ( pun . . also intended )

the move to digital sculpting with geomagic ' s freeform 3d modeling software allowed wyrd to deliver " exceptional detail that was previously not possible to achieve in metal figurines - detail that exactly reproduces and in some cases exceeds the detail in the original line art , even for intricately detailed miniatures such as hungering darkness and the windswept miss terious . "

embracing digital sculpting with freeform also allowed wyrd to get to market at least one - third faster and produce miniatures in plastic , avoiding the approximately 80 % increase in the cost of white metal over the past 2 years . the freeform 3d design file now serves as the foundation of a streamlined and far more accurate plastic injection manufacturing process . details are crisper , surface finishes are smoother , and the plastic allows better paint adherence . since the precision fit of the molds all but eliminates the seam that typically appears as plastic flashing in between molds , wyrd has also streamlined processes at the warehouse for inspection and quality control . the new plastic figurines also cost less to ship than metal .

" it ' s exciting to see how freeform and talented designers are pushing the limits of detail , in ever smaller and smaller formats . even more compelling is the savings in time that wyrd miniatures ' work with ghost studio was able to realize , by creating molds directly from freeform ' s digital files , " said joan lockhart , vice president of marketing for geomagic .

hey there , i ' m a long time miniature gamer here in louisville , ky . malifaux is undoubtedly my favorite miniature game and i think wyrd has done such a amazing job , outside of avatar marcus . wtf were you smoking when you let someone sculpt that . anyways , i ' ve noticed with malifaux , there is that one book a year that you put out which is nice because it updates all the factions at once . on the other hand though i feel like it ' s really letting your product sales die off in the later parts of the year . i don ' t own a miniature company personally or have any knowledge of wyrds sales etc , so i ' m completely talking out of my ass here . though i feel like there just isn ' t much interest come 6 - 11 months after the book comes out because we have all proxied the models and are just waiting for the ones we need to come out . seems like next book is the most exciting thing . i think to generate even greater interest year round , there needs to be some sort of sneak preview web rules of things that may be in the upcoming book for that year .

wyrd and its product design firm , ghost studio , relied on the freeform 3d modeling from geomagic to digitally sculpt 40 miniatures for six new box sets . they then used the digital designs as the basis of a streamlined digital manufacturing process that moves from art to production tooling via stl milling . people familiar with stereolithography in additive manufacturing might be familiar with stl , which uses triangular facets that are able to represent just about any freeform shape .

morrisville , north carolina - - august 15 , 2012 – as over 35 , 000 gamers descend on indianapolis later this week for the start of gen con , the largest gaming show in the world , wyrd miniatures will debut an entire new line of plastic miniatures for its hit character skirmish game “malifaux” . the designs’ intense detail typifies the value of digital sculpting that drives better quality products in an advanced all - digital manufacturing workflow using today’s 3d solutions from geomagic® .

“it’s exciting to see how freeform and talented designers are pushing the limits of detail , in ever smaller and smaller formats , ” said joan lockhart , vice president of marketing for geomagic . “even more compelling is the savings in time that wyrd miniatures’ work with ghost studio was able to realize , by creating molds directly from freeform’s digital files . 3d digital workflows are transforming manufacturing , and geomagic products are proud to be at the forefront , from scanning through design and manufacturing , to final inspection . ”

the molds are family molds in which all the parts needed to build the character are on a single runner , explained george sivy , a principle with ghost studio , the product design firm that did the production workflow for wyrd miniatures , in an interview with plasticstoday . " we use 4x6 runner configurations or 8x6 runner configurations , and maintain consistency in the runner size to facilitate packaging . these figures within a 6x8 runner configuration typically contain figurines for the malifaux line . others we ' ve done have as many as 12 figurines on a runner because the figures are smaller . "

no - flash family molds digital sculpting with freeform also allowed wyrd to get to market at least one - third faster and produce the miniatures in plastic , avoiding the approximately 80 % increase in the cost of white metal over the past two years . the freeform 3d design file now serves as the foundation of a streamlined and far more accurate plastic injection manufacturing process . details are crisper , surface finishes are smoother , and the plastic allows better paint adherence . the precision fit of the molds ' core / cavity parting lines all but eliminates the parting line flash that typically appears after molding .

“just several years ago it took between 90 and 120 days to move from design to manufactured part for a typical toy . and that’s just one part . today using freeform , wyrd is moving from design to finished parts for 5 characters on a sprue in far less than that , and achieving levels of detail that were difficult if not impossible to obtain in the past , ” said george sivy , co - owner of ghost studio . “i’ve used freeform for many client projects over the past 10 years , and i can honestly say that freeform stands alone in its ability to achieve such detail while also enabling a vastly improved manufacturing workflow . ”

" characters are the soul of the game , which is why we call malifaux a character - based game . ghost studio has helped us bring our characters to life , with detail and dynamic poses that weren ' t possible for us before , " said nathan caroland , co - owner of wyrd miniatures , based in kennesaw , georgia . " the digital sculpting done with freeform , when paired with the capabilities of plastic , lets us create miniatures that closely match the details and animation of the original artwork , making our miniatures stand out . our customers are excited about the new poses and the intricacies of our new releases , and we hope that we ' re raising the bar for all miniatures by focusing on quality through freeform . "

i have to disagree . . . amarcus is awesome , lol ( jk )

i ' m honestly not sure how previews would help , especially considering the wave of speculation come this time of year .

heh , as long as its not a gw style price rise . . i ' m happy to keep speculating !

or a totally new faction . . the really ancient denizens of malifaux . . . . before even the neverborn ?

i ' d presumed that was a terraclips promo because of the logo . does that logo appear on anything else that relates just to malifaux ? if so - colour me excited !

i think your presumption is correct in that it is a terraclips promo and it was posted in the terraclips forum .

and fluff wise , yes malifaux is very good , but my ultimate favourite is still the wh40k universe . . when written well it is great . . . i ' m loving the horus heresy series at the mo !

i ' m not sure if i ' d ever actually play 40k , but i ' d not mind reading its fluff , that ' s for sure .

and yes , i totally want more fluff . even full books . heck , introduce new characters through the fluff . that ' d make me a happy deus .

+ 1 on the horus heresy . . i think some short novels from minions pov would keep the tastebuds watering between models . .

entry 1 : my name is zeke and i am a desperate merc . my family is poor so i came through the breach with my dull sword and my second hand pistol to find work .

entry 2 : today i am doing a job for the guild . the local morgue manager asked me to help him out with a little problem . he ' s a strange guy but money is money

entry 3 : oh my god , my god why are you doing this to me . why are you taking my spleen and kidney . ahhhffgghhghhhhh . . .

. . and i would pay good hard cash monies for this in a paperback . .

i would just love to see a list of when things come out ( and if there is then thats great ) as i have been planing convertions for some models but dont know when it comes out . some sneek peeks would do to .

check the main page , most of what you request is there ( for the next few months anyway ) .

my advice would be to diversify . t - shirts , key chains , comics , novels , plushies . . . ext .

i realize that ' s easier said than done . but third party companies possibly could be enlisted . i know several of my friends , as well as i , would blow money on them . i think most fans would .

you have plenty of beautiful art already . slap those on a few t - shirts with a big fat logo and you will have folks paying you to advertise for you .

reproducing the 1st rule book fluff and all is a big one as well . love the mini condensed version . but the fluff is a huge selling point , or was for me anyhow . took me a couple months to get my hands on a copy of the 1st book so as to know what i missed reading the last 2 first . borrowed it too . have yet to find a copy at at reasonable price , well , when i actually had the money to blow .

another suggestion based on actually playing the game would be some ' official ' counter / token sets .

honestly why would they want to go there when someone has already put out an awesome set . personally i would rather they spend there time on other projects and let the 3rd parties crank out the counters

i think is just like to see a model release with the books , not everything . . but some models , 1from each faction perhaps . . because for me , the first 3months after book release is all theoryfaux and the 9after is spent waiting . . why not give us something to play with ? hit the tabletop running . .

a tube is a soft squeezable container which can be used for thick liquids such as adhesive , caulking , ointment , and toothpaste .

basically , a tube is a cylindrical , hollow piece with a round or oval profile , made of plastic , paperboard , or aluminum .

both ends of this tube are treated differently during the manufacturing process and filling .

in general , on one end of the tube body there is a round orifice , which can be closed by different caps and closures .

the orifice can be shaped in many different ways .

plastic nozzles in various styles and lengths are just one good example .

to attach caps and closures , in most cases a thread is tapped onto the opening structure .

furthermore , something all aluminium tubes have in common is that the other open end is folded several times after the contents have been added .

the tube is thus hermetically sealed and nearly germ-free due to the high temperatures during the production process .

furthermore , it is possible to coat the inside of the tube with special coatings to prevent the material from reacting with the contents .

tubes are not poured from liquid aluminium ; they are produced by the process of impact extrusion .

in this process , the tube body is extruded from a small piece of aluminium with the round shape of a coin .

unlimited printing designs can be applied to the tube , thanks to the wet-in-wet offset printing method .

six tones can be printed with this printing procedure , which gives packaging designers great opportunities to express their creativity .

the filled content can be easily squeezed out by the pressure of two fingers .

the main characteristic of aluminium tubes is the total separation of the contents from the surrounding atmosphere ; therefore , such tubes are especially suitable for the packaging of highly perishable contents .

aluminium tubes are used as packaging technology for cosmetics , pharmaceuticals , food , and technical products .

plastic tubes : tube containers can also be produced in plastic , most commonly pe .

the use of plastic tubes is very popular for the storage of cosmetics such as hand creams etc. and also some food stuffs .

the plastic tube retains its shape after each " squeeze " unlike laminate tubes such as toothpaste tubes .

plastic tubes can also be highly decorated or have a special additive such as soft touch to make the tube more appealing during use or point of sale ( pos ) .

plastic tubes are produced using the extrusion process .

a " sleeve " is first produced using a very specialised extrusion line .

the " sleeve " must be produced to a very high standard ( for decoration purposes ) and also to very tight tolerances as automated processes are required post the extrusion operation .

once the " sleeve " is produced the tube head is fitted using an automated heading machine .

tube printing using complex and specialised printing machines such as silk screen printing applies the desired decoration .

the open tubes are then most likely packed and despatched to another facility for filling and sealing .

the growth of multi-layer plastic tubes has been significant over the last couple of years due to the " barrier " properties of the tube to enable a wider range of products such as food to be stored in them .

fig . 8 shows a rear perspective view of the container of fig . 7 ,

the invention relates to a ring flip - top tube container , comprising a tube body ( 4 ) providing a space for accommodating cosmetic , a tube neck ( 3 ) and a flip - top cap including a lower flip - top cap ( 2 ) and an upper flip - top cap ( 1 ) . since the number of parts is reduced and the manufacturing process is simplified , in the process of producing the ring flip - top tube container , the use of raw material and energy may be reduced . therefore , the ring flip - top tube container is not only environmentally friendly but also conductive to increase production efficiency and lower production cost . in addition , this ring flip - top tube container is capable of reducing the height of the cap and hence an elegant design may be executed .

the tube will hold approx 10ml of liquid . once the screw cap is fully screwed on , the tube is leak - proof . length of tube is 9 . 6cm ( 9 . 9cm with the screw cap on ) .

this invention relates to collapsible tube containers having flexible wall surfaces in which the user collapses the same by squeezing the tube forcing the material within outwardly therefrom .

the collapsible container of the present invention preferably is constructed from three pre - formed components , namely , a molded headpiece , a laminated shoulderpiece and a laminated tube .

according to the invention , compared to the flip - top tube container in the prior art , the ring flip - top tube container reduces the number of the parts , simplifies assembly process , and saves and reduces raw materials and energy , thus not only being environmentally friendly but also conductive to increase production efficiency and reduce production cost . in addition , this ring flip - top tube container in the invention is capable of reducing the height of the cap and hence an elegant design is executed .

consequently , a laminate - tube container according to the present invention is extremely useful as containers used for toothpaste , medicine , food , drinks , adhesives or the like .

as to the ring flip - top tube container in the invention , a tube body 4 is used for providing a space accommodating cosmetic , and can be made of soft material , for example , pe . the lower part of the tube body 4 can be sealed with the adoption of the well - known technique in the prior art , and the upper part of the tube body 4 is opened . furthermore , the upper part of the tube body ( 4 ) is opened and connected with the lower part of the tube neck ( 3 ) and constitutes one body ;

in u . s . pat . no . 3 , 648 , 895 , a collapsible tube container can be seen wherein areas of reduced wall thickness extend longitudinally oppositely disposed to one another so that the tube can be collapsed in a true flat fashion .

another advantage of the container of the present invention is that the molded headpiece of that container can be used with laminated tubes having widely varying diameters . the reason for this is that , unlike the containers described in the patents discussed above , the molded headpiece of the container of the present invention does not depend on the size of the container ' s laminated tube because it is not bonded to or in abutment with that laminated tube . the fact that containers having a number of different tube diameters can be made from a single size of a molded headpiece can result in substantial savings to the manufacturer of the containers .

3 . the multi - tube container as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a cap portion for plugging said neck portion is formed at a part of said head portion .

4 . the multi - tube container as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a pin portion for plugging said neck portion is formed at a part of said head portion .

it is important in the laminate - tube container according to the present invention that the material as selected above be used in the shoulder thereof . on the other hand , other parts of the container than the shoulder thereof may be composed of any conventional material , and also the conventional production process may be applied to the container of the present invention . it goes without saying that the whole of a tube container may be constituted of the melt - blended material comprising the aforementioned components ( a ) , ( b ) and ( c ) .

yet another advantage of the container of the present invention is that the design of that container permits the use of a relatively thin impermeable shoulder as compared to the impermeable shoulders of prior art containers . as a result , the container of the present invention has a relatively soft shoulder as compared to prior art containers . this soft shoulder facilitates removal of the contents of the container .

as there are relatively many parts of the container in the prior art , there are problems of increased raw material cost and complicated assembly process . therefore , it needs to be improved of production efficiency and process cost . moreover , as the flip - top tube container is formed by a plurality of parts , it is hard for the container to have elegant appearance .

in f ig . 3 the tube 1 is closed at one end by being cellootherend by a cork 7 . the tube container may be made out . of long tubes cutting off short pieces according to the desired length of the container or by ' rolling plates of the same material over a mandrel and sticking the edges of the plates one to another .

in order to solve the foregoing problem , the present inventors have intensively investigated a variety of shoulder materials for a laminate - tube container and finally accomplished the present invention on the basis of the finding that a specific resin blend is effective as a shoulder material for the container .

a threaded outlet 15 is formed integrally on the opposite end of said collapsible tube container 10 from said flexible wall member 13 as will be understood by those skilled in the art .

applicant ' s device comprises a collapsible tube having a single stiff non - collapsible flat wall with a tube collapsing follower progressively engaging the flat wall and collapsible wall portion .

a second bottom portion formed at a fourth end of said second tube , said second bottom portion sealing said second tube and being detachably connected to said first bottom portion .

still ' a further object of the present invention is to provide an improvedbeverage container having incorporated therein a drinking straw which is normally sealed by a frangible member , which when severed to gain access to the straw , automatically causes puncturing of the container and insertion of the straw into the container .

3 . the ring flip - top tube container according to claim 1 , wherein tamper occurs between the outer peripheral surface of the upper part of the tube neck and that of the lower part of the discharge outlet , so that the outer peripheral surface of the lower part of the discharge outlet is higher than that of the upper part of the tube neck .

the former multi - container type package , however , raises a problem that it cannot be molded easily because it requires to provide connecting pieces at respective caps and bodies , and to connect those connecting pieces breakably . the package further raises a problem that for respective containers are connected simply at the caps and bodies the package may not stably maintain its connection because the lower portions , or the bottoms , to which weights of the filled contents are exerted , of the container are not connected . the latter multi - tube container requires to connect the containers with each other by attaching thick connecting strings between the caps and between the bodies , so that the container cannot be molded easily . the container also raises a problem that the connecting strings cannot be cut easily when the respective containers are to be separated . as well as the above , the container further raises a problem that the container may not stably maintain its connection because the bottoms , to which weights of the filled contents are exerted , of the container are not connected .

another object of the present invention is to vprovide an improved beverage container wherein beverages of various kinds , such as milk , lemonade , soft drinks , and the like , may have incorporated therein a straw which is sealed for shipment and transportation , the container being of water - proof pasteboard , or any other suitable material , and the straw being sealed on the container , but upon breaking the seal , adaptable for use in drinking the contents of the container .

4 . the collapsible container of claim 1 wherein the molded headpiece , including all its integrally molded parts , is spaced from the laminated tube by a distance at least about ten times the thickness of the laminated shoulderpiece .

in fig . 2 , as well as in figs . 3 - 9 , the thickness of the shoulderpiece and tube are exaggerated relative to the diameter of the tube . accordingly , the distance between the headpiece and tube in terms of the thickness of the shoulderpiece is greater than would appear from these figures .

in addition , the ring flip - top tub container in the invention may save and reduce raw materials and energy .

as a container to be used for toothpaste , food , cosmetics , medicine , adhesives or the like , a laminate - tube type container is available ( refer to fig . 1 ) . the body of such a container is given a barrier property by an aluminum foil or an ethylene - vinyl alcohol copolymer , etc . however , since the shoulder ( part a of fig . 1 ) formed in the discharge side of the container is usually made of a material comprising a single resin such as polyethylene and has poor gas barrier properties , there have arisen various problems such that the contents of the container , such as perfume , are released through the shoulder , while gases contained in the outer atmosphere , such as oxygen , enter the container through the shoulder , thus changing the quality of the contents .

in figures 4 , 5 and 6 , the drinking4 tube i . i . may be ' inserted into the container in exactly the same manner as is the corresponding drinking tube in the arrangement shown ` in figures , 1l , v 2 and 3 , and corresponding elements in figures 1 - 6 have identical reference numerals .

in order to cope with these problems , there are available several methods , for example , a method in which a laminate - tube container is fitted with a doughnut - shaped member containing an aluminum foil at the inside or outside of the shoulder of the container ( rondelle type as shown in fig . 2 ) , a method in which a container is equipped with a cup - shaped member extending from the shoulder to the inside of the opening of the container ( membrane rondelle type as shown in fig . 3 ) , or a method in which a preformed member of a resin having a high barrier property , such as polybutylene terephthalate ( pbt ) , is installed on the container .
