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

Beer cardboard cases are something I’m familiar with, they’ve inspired me. There use the minimal amount of material cover and hold the contents. And the handle is also surprisingly durable.

I think one of the inevitable things that I think will use in most of my products are plastic refill pouches. As it allows the use to re-use there bottle instead of replacing them every time which cuts down the cost and co’2 footprints which would come from transporting them and recycling them.

These pouches can now be made with 70% less plastic then an average plastic container with the same volume. And this can simply be taken out of the cardboard and they can be recycled separately. And because is made of 70% less they are much lighter to transport saving fuel.

A company called biome plastic’s could also provide lea & perrins with the materials to manufacture these with bio plastic which is plastic like a materials with the same basic properties and usability, but is made from plant extracts making it bio-degradable, fully recyclable though perfectly suited for food packaging, with the same transparency and feel.
