The plastic milk bottles producer’s Infini bottle has been recognised as an innovative and efficient product, winning the “Judges’ Award for Packaging Innovation”.
Nampak claims the bottle is the world’s lightest 4-pint (2.27 litre) 32g bottle, which contains up to 20% less material than a standard bottle, and up to 30% recycled HDPE.
It also insists the UK milk packaging industry 34,000 tonnes of plastic resin per annum, and 16,000 tonnes of carbon.
The award judges commented: “Often overlooked, products such as these are simple innovations that can make a great difference to the world, and yet don’t jump off the page, they just do their job quietly, reducing plastic, creating efficiencies.”
Eric Collins, managing director of Nampak Plastics, said he was delighted with the award.
"The design and engineering team are always working on pushing innovation boundaries and aspiring to enhance even future lighter weights. We continue to focus on forward thinking technological advancements, whilst maintaining our duty to improve responsible packaging.”
