According to the manufacturer, the descaler is more than 99.5% biodegradable and acts five-times quicker than citric acid. The product comes in a shiny, metallic 750ml bottle with a shoulder embossing that depicts a mountain range. The shape of the base of the bottle is quite striking, resembling a stand-up pouch with a fold or centre line raised towards the inside of the container. The screw top is difficult to remove from the container, while two self-adhesive labels provide information about the product. www.dueringag.ch A shaped bottle for a mouth rinse Act, a Sanofi brand of dental care products, is mar- keting a mouthwash in a wavy-shaped, side-line bottle aimed at improving children’s dental hygiene (6-years and over).
