BOTTLES 33 PET planet insider Vol. 15 No. 08/14 www.petpla.net Beauty care bottles in two-step process PDG Plastiques have developed two new bottles for beauty care products. The challenge was to use the two-steps process for a 500ml and a 1l oval and flat top shoulder bottle. It took more than nine months to find the right design and process to obtain the customer’s desired bottles. According to PDG Plastiques, there is a growing demand for PET bottles and jars in the field of health, beauty, body care liquids and creams in France, due to the materials’ characteristics related to unbreakability, crystallinity and competitiveness compared to glass. www.pdg-plastiques.com Bio-mango & bio avocado for the hair Laverana GmbH & Co.
