Reuseable blender/bottle
Pepsi’s Drinkfinity™ “personal hydration system” won Best of Show honors in this year’s AmeriStar awards from the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP). The package did not win any sustainability honors in the competition, although its achievements in that area deserve to be recognized.
The Drinkfinity packaging consists of a PET pod holding liquid flavor concentrate, a polypropylene closure for the pod that holds powdered nutrients in a specially engineered pocket, and a hinged-top copolyester bottle into which the pod empties its liquid and dry ingredients; water gets added by the consumer. This packaging development is a collaborative effort of PepsiCo’s Global Packaging R&D operations and the Selig Group.
