BOTTLES 35 PET planet insider Vol. 14 No. 01+02/13 www.petpla.net Getting a grip on car care One problem with many thin- walled PET bottles is that you have to compress them slightly when lifting them in order to hold them securely. This often means that, if the product has been opened, one has to contend with the risk that the product may accidentally gush out. Cue for Sonax GmbH‘s bottle containing their car care product “Wash & Wax“ to come to the rescue. The red PET bottle has an indentation in the grip area and this indentation also incorporates additional recesses for the finger tips. Additional grooves and embossing on the bottle lend it an air of technical sophistication. A screw-type dispens- ing cap with tamper-proof strip and two self-adhesive labels complete the packaging. www.sonax.com Shaving foam The German drug-store discounter dm is featuring in his range, under his own label “balea nature“, shaving foam in a pressur- ised PET bottle. The product is of 95% natu- ral origin and particularly user-friendly as it is free from silicones, parabens, mineral oils and colourants. The product is extracted by operating a tamper-proof knob. The waisted bottle contains 150ml of shaving foam and is decorated with a sleeve label. www.dm.de GDXL Air wick for air and textiles Under the brand name of Air Wick and the suffix Aqua Nature, ReckittBenckiser have recently started selling a spray for freshening up air and textiles long term. The spray, with its scent of magnolia and cherry blossom, is applied by means of a propellant-free spray head which is ergo- nomically formed and proof against incor- rect use. After removal of the red security clip the translucent PETE bottle, with its 345ml contents, can be used to spray the product into the air or on to the surface of items of clothing. The fragrance will remain on the textiles for up to 12h. www.airwick.de
