PET bottles 46 PET planet insider Vol. 13 No. 03/12 www.petpla.net Personal Care Shower Gel with Micro-particles Under the brand name “Nivea for Men“, Beiersdorf AG of Hamburg are producing and marketing a shower gel in a PET bottle with a 250ml content. Featuring a slightly bluish tint and intended for both skin and hair care it has a screw-on, 2-colour hinged lid in PP. The micro-particles, transparent and orange, which are suspended in the viscous shower gel are “destroyed“ when they are massaged into the skin and, according to the manufacturer, will help to promote muscle relaxation as well as conveying a special feeling of freshness. A rear label with a reflec- tive inner surface will ensure interest- ing light-play effects at the POS. www.nivea.de Easy opening thanks to two colours Under its Clearasil brand name, ReckittBenckiser is selling 200ml of skin clarifying toner for daily use in a transparent PET bottle with snap-on hinged lid. Thanks to the integrated recessed grip the 2-colour hinged lid can be opened with no problems using one hand only.
