"SYSTEMS TO PRODUCE A COATED PLASTIC CONTAINER AND TO PACK A DRINK, AND, PROCESSES TO PRODUCE A COATED PLASTIC CONTAINER OF RECYCLED CONTENT AND TO PACK A DRINK, AND, COATED PLASTIC CONTAINER". A plastic container provides low permeability to gases and vapors. A process and system for coating plastic containers includes applying a thin layer of inorganic oxide to the outer surface of plasma-assisted vacuum vapor deposition containers. For example, the coating can include silica, which is bonded to the outer surface of the container. This coating is flexible and can be applied regardless of the internal pressure of the container or its lack. The coating adheres firmly to the container and has an increased gas barrier effect after pressurization, even when the coating is scratched, fractured, flexed and / or stretched. In addition, this gas barrier intensification will be substantially unaffected by filling the container. A process for recycling coated plastic coatings and a process and system for packaging a beverage using the coated containers are also described.
