Mar 26, 2009 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
PEP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Aquafina, a product of Pepsi-Cola North America Beverages, the refreshment beverage unit of PepsiCo, has announced that it is launching the Eco-Fina Bottle.

At a weight of 10.9g, the Eco-Fina Bottle is made with 50% less plastic, eliminating an estimated 75 million pounds of plastic annually, said PepsiCo.

Aquafina is also driving additional environmental benefits by producing the bottle at purification centers where filling occurs and by eliminating cardboard base pads from 24-packs, which will contribute to saving 20 million pounds of corrugate by 2010, added PepsiCo.

The Eco-Fina Bottle will be available in 24-packs and begins shipping to retail outlets across the US in April 2009, the company noted.
