Japan-based Suntory Beverage & Food is set to gradually launch 31.3g 2l bottles for its beverages, beginning in late January 2014.
The new lightest class plastic bottles have been developed for 11 beverages, including Iyemon and Suntory Oolong Tea.
Suntory Beverage is aiming to reduce environmental impact and provide easy-to-use products out of consideration for usability as well, with the launch of these bottles.
With the new bottles, around 1,200t of petroleum resin usage will be reduced, the company claims.
In addition, the company has launched RePET Bottle that was made from recycled PET resin through its B2B mechanical recycling system.
