en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amcor has introduced a new 38mm handle for PET containers used for water and other non-carbonated beverages. The handle features a user-friendly, strong grip for easy carrying. The new handle is compatible with Amcor's Proxima tethered caps and other beverage closures, and is suitable for large PET containers up to 10 liters.

Amcor states that when used with this closure, the new handle achieves a 34.5% weight reduction compared to the 48mm version, and features a locking tab that securely fastens the handle against the bottle neck. Amcor adds that one of the drivers for the 5 to 10-liter market is bulk purchasing for households, offices, or campsites.

Uli Kobert, Product Line Manager for Amcor Beverage Closures and Home Care Triggers, said: "This new 38mm handle comes at the right time, as more and more consumers are requesting water or non-carbonated beverage containers in 5 to 10-liter sizes. It is a solution that is both convenient for consumers and easy to carry."

In related news, last year Coca-Cola HBC Austria, DS Smith, and Krones collaborated to launch a recyclable corrugated handle for soft drink multipacks, a solution reportedly capable of replacing approximately 200 tons of plastic shrink film annually. Designed specifically for multipacks of 1.5-liter PET bottles, it features a soft grip to enhance carrying functionality.

This month, Ekoroll announced the launch of a lidless paper cup for hot and cold beverages, featuring an integrated lid and drinking spout, and utilizing a water-based coating for recyclability and compostability. The design is also expected to comply with the upcoming revised Plastics and Plastic Waste Regulation and help customers avoid taxes on plastic packaging components.
