Croatian beverage producer’s new bottle design saves 7% of product’s GHG emissions

Published: 02/02/2021

Croatia’s largest water and soft drinks producer, Jamnica, is supporting eco-innovation in packaging materials and design by changing the design of the bottle, reducing the weight of PET and changing the existing cap with “Short-Neck”.

Thanks to the new bottle design, Jamnica reduced the impact of production activities on the environment resulting from greenhouse gas emissions expressed in carbon dioxide units. The carbon footprint of carbonated natural mineral water in PET bottles has been reduced by 7% compared to the old bottle. By reducing the weight of its primary packaging, Jamnica reduces the carbon footprint of products in all stages of its life cycle and significantly reduces its effect on the environment.
