BOTTLES 45 PET planet insider Vol. 16 No. 04/15 Tailor-made Drink for Mothers Since the end of 2014, Mapa GmbH has been marketing a new drink which goes by the name of “Mom’s Daily“ under its “NUK” brand name known up to now for products for infants and toddlers. According to the manufacturer, the intention with this product is to supply energy to strengthen the immune system and combat fatigue. The drink’s composition is 10% juice / 90% water, it is sweetened with steviol glycosides and tastes like orange maracuja. The drink is bottled in a white-tinted, waisted PET bottle with a content of 500ml, decorated with a matt sleeve label and sealed by means of a red screw cap complete with tamper-proof strip. www.nuk.de/nuk-mom-s-daily.html Bottle with Active Carbon Filter Under the name “bobble – make water better“ the American firm Move Collective is marketing a transpar- ent and BPA-free plastic bottle made from PET. This is fitted with an active carbon filter integrated in the screw-on push-pull which cleanses the water when the consumer drinks directly from the bottle. According to the manu- facturer, the filter removes odours, chlorine and organic foreign substances from the tap water added to the bottle. Prior to initial use, the filter, the cleaning action of which is designed to last two months or 150 litres of water, needs to be flushed through once. By way of sales packag- ing for the 533ml bottle (hand wash only) there is a display box made from cardboard which presents the filter so that it is readily visible. During transport and use the push-pull is protected by a transparent plastic cap. www.waterbobble.com
