Environmentally Refreshing Product

In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint PepsiCo has unveiled a new beverage bottle made 100% of plant-based materials.  Which means it is 100% plastic free!  The bottle is completely recyclable and is made from materials such as potato peels, orange peels, and oat hulls. 

The bottle will begin pilot production in 2012 and, upon successful completion, will then be introduced full-scale to the market.  This is in the wake of similar eco-friendly product containers released by PepsiCo such as SunChips 100% compostable bag, and the Eco-Fina Aquafina water bottle made using 50% less plastic.
