Nampak Plastics, the UK’s leading producer of plastic milk bottles, has announced that its famous Infini bottle, which is stocked in a number of major retailers including Marks & Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose, has sold over 250 million bottles since its launch back in 2012.
Infini is, currently, the lightest and strongest bottle on the British market. It has saved 34,000 tonnes of carbon and 16,000 tonnes of material per year since 2012, while Nampak’s design and engineering teams are always working on further innovation.
Most recently the company has trialled, tested and supplied one pint, one litre and two pint Infini milk bottles containing up to 15% recycled high density polyethylene (rHDPE) - a move which will result in a combined material saving of 4,500 tonnes, and a combined carbon saving 12,000 tonnes per annum.
Eric Collins, managing director of Nampak Plastics, commented: “We are thrilled with the continuing success of our Infini bottle. It’s something we’re incredibly proud of and the news that we have sold over a quarter of a billion bottles since 2012 is fantastic. Infini regularly achieves world firsts by using considerably less virgin material and increasing quantities of recycled plastic. We couldn’t be prouder of our achievements.”
Successes to date have seen Infini claim a number of industry awards, including some on a global scale, with a silver prize for sustainability at the coveted WorldStar awards in May this year and first prize for Waste Minimisation at the National Recycling Awards in July.
To celebrate the company’s success Nampak has released a video to show exactly why Infini has revolutionised the British milk packaging industry.
