Green bottle

I found another very interesting cardboard liquid container concept that I could use for my bottle design. From a company called Green bottle.

Material

The milk bottle were the main type of bottles that were 

tested in selected supermarkets and 90% of people would 

try this, and after use 82% of people said they would 

intentionally buy this products again.

These bottles are made but taking the client’s previous

 bottle design and then vacuum sealing the paper over the 

bottle.

Inside is left a plastic bag with a cap, the cap being fastened 

to the lip of the bottle. This plastic bag is made with significantly 

less plastic compared to a plastic bottle of the same 

equivalent. Carbon foot print of transporting these green bottles is only 10% the equivalent glass bottles. And the carbon foot print of making these green bottles are 4.4 times less then equivalent plastic bottles.

The cardboard can also be easily and simply taken of the plastic with little strength and be recycled separately, compared to carton packaging which cannot be separated.

Summary

This is a very good alternative is can be perfectly molded into the exact same shape as the original, and vegetable ink can be used to recreate there proud logo’s in full detail and color.
