The template breaks down all five Porter's forces for plastic bottles: supplier power (PET, HDPE, rPET resins), buyer power (SMB beverage customers), rivalry (capacity, pricing), threat of entrants (tooling, capital), and substitutes (glass, refill systems). Each force includes scorecards and strategic responses.
