KHS wins World Beverage Innovation Award for lightweight 1-liter PET milk bottle
At this year's BrauBeviale in Nuremberg, KHS (KHS.com) was presented with the World Beverage Innovation Award from British publisher FoodBev Media for its lightweight 1-liter PET milk bottle. The specialist for filling and packaging systems was victorious with this bottle in the category "Best Environmental Sustainability Initiative". The new solution scores in particular thanks to its low weight and the related material savings. The prestigious prize is awarded for innovative designs and products as well as outstanding quality in the international brewing industry.
"We are proud of this award. The award is testimony to our ongoing commitment in the field of innovative and sustainable product systems and solutions," says Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Niemeyer, CEO of KHS GmbH. The lightweight 1-liter PET bottle for milk and mixed milk beverages was developed ready for the market and extensively tested at the Bottles & Shapes™ Center at KHS' site in Hamburg. As a handy alternative, the ultra-lightweight PET bottle offers many advantages versus the beverage carton.
