Nampak Plastics, one of the UK’s leading plastic milk bottle manufacturers, has developed an innovative new design for an ultra-light weight bottle known as infini.

infini is part of Nampak’s drive to reduce its own carbon footprint and also provides its customers with the opportunity to respond to environmental impact pressures while making a contribution to cost savings.

The new infini bottle has been specifically designed to be lightweighted and its launch coincides with the increased focus on the carbon impact of grocery packaging in Courtauld Commitment 2. Nampak’s total production of milk bottles – currently 2 billion per annum – will move to the new lightweighted design over the next few years but the first innovative infini bottles will be in the market by the summer of 2012.

infini is a Nampak-led initiative, developed by the innovation team at Nampak, and the design is fully protected by relevant patents and design registration.
