Coca-Cola To Minimize Plastics Use

In an effort to minimize the usage of plastics, The Coca-Cola Company has joined with the three biotechnology companies to commercially build up 100% plant-based plastic bottles made from renewable sources.
The new bio-based plastic bottles will be a breakthrough in the first-generation PlantBottle packaging, which was initiated in 2009 and which was the only fully recyclable PET bottle made with up to 30% plant-based material called MEG (mono-ethylene glycol). The remaining 70% was made from PTA (purified terephthalic acid).
At that time, Coca-Cola had distributed more than 10 billion plastic bottles in 20 countries all over the world. Now, with the support of the three industry leaders of Virent, Gevo and Avantium, the remaining 70% will also be substituted with plant-based materials.
Though the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, Coca-Cola expects to open its first full-scale commercial plant by early 2015.

Smart Move indeed !

Enjoy Pepsi with QR

PEPSI has done it. Congrats !
Packaging is a logical fit for QR codes. Right now when you pick an item off the supermarket shelf, the only information you have to make a buying decision is based on what is included on the product label. Imagine if you could just whip out your camera phone, take a picture of the QR code and be instantly taken to a web site that contains more information on the product. There you could be presented with recipe ideas, preparation and serving tips, instructional photos and videos, and other product benefits. The ideas are endless. ENJOY !
