In the ever-evolving world of plastic packaging, few names stand out with the level of experience and technical depth that Lori Yoder brings to the table. With nearly 30 years in the plastic packaging industry, Lori has shaped the trajectory of sustainable packaging solutions through her deep understanding of materials, processing, and design — with a special focus on polyester and PET technologies.
Lori’s expertise spans a wide spectrum — from preform and container design, to orientation stretch-blow molding, container performance testing, and barrier technologies. Throughout her career, she has worked with an impressive array of thermoplastics, including PHA, PLA, PGA, PEF, PEN, PET, PEIT, and polypropylene, helping companies engineer packaging solutions that are both high-performing and sustainable.
Her tenure at Alpek Polyester (formerly DAK Americas) as a Senior Technical Marketing Representative positioned her as a vital bridge between brand owners, converters, and R&D teams, enabling innovation in PET packaging development. Beyond new packaging, Lori has also championed PET recycling initiatives, overseeing everything from PCR flake washing to rPET brand qualification, molding, and certification.
Now, as a trusted advisor and a DELL-PET Team Member, Lori continues to lead in providing expert solutions for PET bottling operations.
