Tournaire has announced its new Omni Plus bottle range, made from aluminium with a closure system designed to aid easy recycling.
The bottles are made using mono-bloc aluminium construction, with each container extruded from a single piece of aluminium. Tournaire says this eliminates the weak points inherent in material joints and delivers enhanced protection against leaks, cracks and contamination.
The new range is said to be 7% lighter than standard bottles, achieved through a deep drawing process that allows the wall thickness of the canister to be micro-adjusted across the length of the bottle, to obtain ‘the perfect balance’ between strength and weight.
Tournaire adds that the Omni Plus bottles utilize a closure system specifically designed for simple recycling. The collar and cap can be easily dismantled post-use allowing the entire package to enter the recycling stream, and the body of the bottle is made from pure aluminium, which can be recycled infinitely.
The Omni Plus range is available to order exclusively in the UK from Invopak.
This summer, we reported on L’Occitane en Provence’s reusable aluminium bottles and in-store dispensers for its liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel and oil products. Consumers are encouraged to purchase and bring an empty L’Occitane Forever Bottle to fill in-store, available in 250ml and 500ml sizes and reportedly sold at the same price as the equivalent single-use product.
Last month, Dozz announced it would be presenting its chilled, ready-to-eat soup in an aluminium can, designed to be consumed straight from the pack and recycled at end-of-life. The format is said to unlock a chilled shelf life of 4-8 months depending on the recipe and is anticipated to provide flexibility for retailers and out-of-home outlets.
