PET planet Insider Vol. 18 No. 08/17 www.petpla.net 68 PET bottles Beverage + Liquid Food Protein drink from Lidl Alongside its own-brand presence in the smoothie market, the discounter also features in the market for sports and health drinks. So in its own-brand range “Milbona”, the German discounter Lidl has as sports drinks two protein drinks with reduced fat content. The drinks, advertised as “protein bombs”, are available in the varieties peach-passion fruit and orange with a hint of vanilla. The 330ml products are enriched with lactoprotein and come in a white bottle with contouring, a sleeve label and a screw seal with guarantee band. www.lidl.de Superfood Drink with Chia or Basil seeds Friya, a young company fromAustria, sells drinks with chia and basil seeds. The seeds are believed to have beneficial health effects. The chia drink tastes of lime and ginger, while the basil drink tastes of rose blossom and sour cherries. Both are lactose free, do not contain preservatives and will keep hunger pangs at bay. The 200ml bottles are transparent and stable with an easy-to-hold shape and a tamper-evident screw seal. The consumer can see the seed kernels in the product through a small window in the sleeve label. www.friya.at Volvic Juicy now in pear flavour Danone Waters Deutschland has expanded its Volvic Juicy range with a new flavour to keep interest in the products at high levels. “Pear” recently came onto the shelves, a refreshing drink with around 9% fruit juice content, which must be shaken before consumption so that fruit pulp is evenly distributed. The manu- facturer does not use preservatives, artificial flavours or artificial sweeteners. This variety is sold in a characteristically grooved, transparent bottle with a transparent label and a screw cap with guarantee band. www.volvic.de Isotonic drink Pocari Sweat is already a classic among isotonic drinks in Asian countries. Since as early as 1980, when for many people health aware- ness was not yet such a feature as it is today, the product was sold in fluid, powder or gel format to support athletes during training or in regeneration after sport. A container size on offer is a 500ml PET bottle with compensation areas, a shrink sleeve label in the upper area and a tamper-evident screw seal. The label is perforated for easy removal before sorting for unmixed recycling. www.otsuka.co.jp .com 100815dmyL
