Edible-Oil Bottle is 22% Lighter Than Competition

Brazilian company launches a new PET bottle for its edible oil that weighs four grams less than standard bottles while providing greater productivity and sustainability benefits.

Bunge

A new PET bottle for the Oleo de soja Soya brand from Brazilian agribusiness and food producer Bunge is said to be the lightest 900-mL bottle for edible oil in Brazil. According to bottle supplier Amcor, the custom-designed container for São Paulo-based Bunge is 22% lighter than competitive bottles while providing greater productivity and increased sustainability benefits.

Amcor says it responded to Bunge’s industry-wide challenge to suppliers, developing a 14-g container that weighs four grams less than standard bottles. “This new bottle is a huge technological achievement because we were able to replicate the current bottle’s shape and specifications but at a lighter weight,” says Ivan Assenco, Amcor’s R&D Process Coordinator. “During a highly focused three-year development project, we leveraged our expertise in R&D, design, and engineering to create a one-of-a-kind bottle for edible oil.”
