Tenaya LLC, Chicago, has introduced MADE® beverages in Ball Corporation's 16-oz PET bottles with Plasmax® barrier coating from KHS. MADE beverages are filled at Kan-Pak, LLC, Arkansas City, KS, and are reportedly among the first high-acid, shelf-stable beverages aseptically filled in PET bottles in North America.

"The entire Tenaya team shares a philosophy and a vision about how to develop products that are better for the earth, good for the company and good for people, and we do our part to support the overall health of the environment," says Charley Snell, Tenaya founder and former executive of Nestlé USA.

"We strive for environmentally friendly production and packaging. To that end, our current products are uniquely created and packaged aseptically to allow for shelf-stable storage with no need for preservatives or refrigeration, reducing the environmental impact of shipping and storage. We chose Ball's Plasmax-coated PET bottles because the bottles are 100-percent recyclable and widely accepted for recycling, and the Plasmax barrier is highly compatible with the aseptic filling process," Snell adds.
