Just as much drink with less plastic.
That’s what customers who buy 500-milliliter bottles of Lipton Iced Tea, Tropican juice, Aquafina FlavorSplash and Aquafina Alive will get.
PepsiCo, the Purchase-based company that markets the drinks, said it has reduced the amount of plastic in the bottles by 20 percent, enough to prevent 20 million pounds of waste from hitting the environment. The lighter bottles will be on store shelves this month, the company said.
The company said it is also reducing the size of the labels by 10 percent and the size of the shrink wrap that’s used to wrap multi-packs by 5 percent.
