Sustentabilidade crescendo no Brasil

4 10 2012

Coca-Cola Brasil esta lançando a maior fábrica de BioMeg do mundo. O material é o principal ingrediente da produção de PlantBottle. A PlantBottle é una garrafa de plastico que leva em sua composição plantas do tipo cana de açúcar. Como uma parte da produção da PlantBottle tem origem vegetal ela polui menos do que as garrafas PET comuns. (Leia mais sobre a tecnologia PlantBottle)

A fábrica brasileira terá sede em Araraquara, São Paulo. Na composição da nova garrafa PET será usada cana de açúcar produzida na mesma região. Outro fato interessante é que os produtos derivados do processo de produção será reutilizado para a produção de resina de embalagem. Isso irá reduzir as toneladas de dióxido de carbono que poluem o meio ambiente.

Graças a esta iniciativa, o Brasil se tornará o maior produtor e exportador de BioMeg do mundo, com uma capacidade de produção estimada de 500 mil toneladas por ano. O empreendimento deverá gerar 1.650 empregos diretos e indiretos. Coca-Cola pretende atingir a meta de 100% de embalagens recicláveis ​​em seu portfólio ate 2015. Uma boa noticia para nosso meio ambiente…

Crush the bottle!

31 08 2012

Many brands are investing in sustainable packaging. This year Crystal the water brand from Coca Cola Brazil has launched their new bottle made with 20% less volume PET plastic. Chemicals and Petroleum products are usually used to produce PET. The Crystal bottle is manufactured using PET plastic that contains 30% sugar cane. Thanks to the new process and technologies used, Coca Cola claims that carbon emissions are reduced by 20%.

Eco-friendly water bottle

Another advantage of the design of the new bottle is that you can crush it once you finish drinking. This crushable bottle takes 37% less volume than a conventional water bottle making it easier to be transported and stocked by companies that collect and recycle PET packaging.

The idea of this kind of packaging in the beverage industry is not new. In 2009 Coca Cola launched Plantbottle Technology in Japan. The technology also uses plants in the production process to reduce carbon the materials carbon footprint.

The Crystal brand says “We did our job producing and implementing a new bottle more environmentally friendly, now it is up to the consumers to crush the bottle after use and help to reduce the volume of the recycled waste”. Eco friendly bottle

The brand invites people to participate to projects involving recycling around Brazil. The country is considered as a leader in recycling in South America but has a very long way to go.

The marketing team from the Brazilian brand Crystal also came up with a great campaign that says “Crush it, make a wish and attract good vibes”. This slogan suits Brazilian culture. We love things where you have to make a wish.

It is inspiring to see more and more brands investing in sustainable packaging.
