PET planet Insider Vol. 21 No. 01+02/20 www.petpla.net 40 PET bottles Home + Personal Care Jar for scent pearls At irregular intervals, scent pearls are available in sales campaigns from German discount retailer Aldi Süd. At the end of October, three different scents – Red Berries, New Spa and Bergamot – were available to purchase in jar-like containers. The containers held 110g of the scented pearls, which release their pleasant aroma over a period of six weeks. Twisting the lid activates the plain scent dispenser; this has no label or printing. At POS, they are displayed in a packet with an adhesive seal and several windows to show the product. Pearls, container lid and packet colouring match one another. www.aldi-sued.de Make-it-yourself slime Under the “Elmer’s” brand, American company Newell Brands is selling a creative toy that children can make themselves. In a curving bottle with a two-part seal, which is opened by twisting the orange- coloured cap, there is a component product that becomes a stiff slime when mixed with water, baking soda and contact lens cleaner; it can be used as a type of play dough. Colour and glitter pigments are clearly vis- ible in the transparent bottle. Two similarly curving labels provide retail information. www.elmers.com Cleaning oil from Nivea Beiersdorf has brought onto the market a new product in the facial care range, which thoroughly removes make-up residue without the use of cotton pads. The product is moisturis- ing and creates a milky emulsion on contact with water. It is available in a light blue, 150ml bottle with a lock- able pump dispenser. A transparent label on the front and a label printed on the inside at the back provide information about the product and ensure an attractive appearance on retailer shelves. www.nivea.de Mouthwash with charcoal Young American company Hello, which has the tagline “naturally friendly”, is selling products for oral and toothcare.
