PETplanet Insider Vol. 21 No. 10/20 www.petpla.net 54 PET bottles Beverage + Liquid Food Volvic launches a lemonade drink “Volvic Limotion” is the name that Danone Waters Germany has given to its product, which is now trad- ing on the carbonated soft drinks’ market. Aside from fruit juice, the lemonades do not contain any additives. Depending on the variety, the fruit juice content is between approximately 7% and 9%, while the proportion of sugar is said to be 30% lower than other sweetened soft drinks in Germany, says the manufacturer. 100ml of lemonade contains around 4 g of sugar. The words on the bottle are aimed at a young target audience. The bottles are made out of 100% recycled material and have transparent, foil labels. The lemonade comes in new sized 0.45 and 0.9 l bottles. Appropriately coloured screw grip caps that match the product and tamper- proof strip complete the product’s appearance. www.volvic.de New range from Vöslauer Vöslauer has launched a new, refreshing drink with a long history under the name “Balance Switchel”. The Switchel drink has been enhanced by the addition of vinegar, giving it a slightly acidic, thirst-quenching char- acter. Vöslauer is currently offering two varieties: the classic version with lemon, lime, ginger and a little honey, and another variant (pictured) which contains blackcurrant, ginger, wild berries and honey. Both come in a distinctive, brand-typical bulbous bottle made from 100% recycled material. A hand grip screw cap with tamper-proof strip and transparent foil label com- plete the packaging. www.switchel.at Iced tea with no sugar Consumer criticism over the large amounts of sugar in popular iced tea drinks has not gone unheard. Many large manu- facturers are now offering varieties that do not contain sugar. San Benedetto is also selling its own sugar-free, peach-flavoured iced tea. The slightly tapered 1.5 l bottles with embossed tea leaf design have a foil label. The conveniently sized large spout is secured by a screw cap with tamper- proof strip. www.sanbenedetto.it Square bottle for an Aloe Vera drink Aleo, a brand of the Mega Baltic company based in Vilnius, Lithu- ania, is selling drinks with aloe vera content produced in Taiwan through various distribution partners. There are around a dozen different varieties, including those that have reduced calorie content. The 0.5 and 1 l bot- tles are square-edged shaped with a slightly greenish colour in the shoulder area and colour-matching screw cap. www.aleodrinks.eu
