I stumbled upon an eco friendly design that PepsiCo had created which claims to be the world's first 100% plant based, renewably sourced PET bottle. Pepsi's green bottle is made from bio-based raw materials like switch grass, pine bark and corn husks.
In my opinion I like this inovation of using the raw materials around us like orange peels and potato peels instead of using recycled cardboard and plastics. Its an organic approach to a problem that is a big problem in the UK when it comes to recycling materials. This is a wise investment for beverage companies worldwide who are wishing to avoid themeselves from using PET plastic made from fossil fuels.
The pilot production of this bottle is set to start in 2012, and if successful Pepsi will move to directly putting it in to full scale production.
