A 200-mL PET bottle has been introduced to meet a mandate in Italy and other European countries that states that restaurants and bars must serve water and other beverages in sealed containers. In conjunction with Husky Injection Molding and cap producer Corvaglia, the co. has downsized the weight of the preform to less than half of what had been commonplace, which helps reduce production costs and environmental impact.
