PET planet Insider Vol. 20 No. 01+02/19 www.petpla.net 47 BOTTLES Beverage + Liquid Food A large cap for a small bo ttle The US juice specialists, Tropicana, have produced a 100% pure, natural orange juice involving very little pulp. It comes in a 355ml (12 fl.oz. ), clear, easy to hold bottle. Its striking feature is the screw top which is huge compared to its bottle size, making it easy to hold. On the outside, the cap has extra grooves which make it difficult for the fingers to slip off when open- ing. Two adhesive labels provide information on the product. www.tropicana.com Bottle with Stickpack The German start-up company, 2KIQ Beverages Ltd, is selling a new kind of energy drink under their “Energieliebe!” brand which has two elements to it. The first is a liquid, slightly pink-coloured component with coconut water, lime juice, marula and baobab, together with a stick of foil that ensures the vitamins and minerals are fully protected from light, moisture, heat and oxygen. The bag is attached securely to the bottle by means of a pre-perforated adhesive strip. Prior to consumption, the bag is carefully removed from the bottle, opened, the contents poured into the bottle and the ingredients mixed and activated by shaking together well. According to the manu- facturer, keeping the elements separate does not alter the taste due to storage and the interaction of the products with one another. The bottle is covered with a sleeve label and secured by a screw top. www.2kiq.de Almond smoothie from Rewe In creating new flavour expe- riences or adopting new trends, competing smoothie manufactur- ers are constantly in competition for the patronage of consumers. Following on from smoothies with vegetables and smoothies with coconut, a smoothie with almonds has recently come onto chiller shelves. Rewe is selling the drink containing apple, banana, coconut and chai spices in a transparent bottle that holds 250ml. The con- tainer is labelled with a foil label colour-matched to the product and a paper strip label, which is affixed over the screw seal as an additional tamper-evident seal. www.rewe.de
