StarLITE UltraLight CSD

The Sidel StarLite™ family of bottle base solutions is expanding through the new StarLite UltraLight for Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD). The design allows for an even lighter and more sustainable bottle than the existing solutions in the beverage marketplace. Specifically suited for the hard discount chains’ needs and challenges for more affordable products, it ensures a good product quality for a great consumer experience.

The Sidel StarLite UltraLight base has been designed for highly carbonated beverages with a short distribution stream. It lends itself perfectly to CSD and sparkling water , sold in countries with a more temperate climate through hard discount supply chains, applying regular stock rotation.

Setting a world record in reduced bottle weight

The StarLite UltraLight CSD base design significantly decreases the amount of raw material needed to produce PET bottles, resulting in 25% lighter bottle weight compared to traditional CSD bottles:

Reduced weight of 10.5g for a 0.5L CSD bottle
Reduced weight of 24g for a 1.5L CSD bottle

Sidel’s StarLite UltraLight solution also comes with an innovative CSD 26/22 bottle neck design. It features a weight of as little as 2.3g, a thread diameter of 26mm, an inner diameter of 21.7mm, and a height of 13mm. Benefits of this bottle neck include:

Robustness
Great tightness to preserve beverage quality
Easy and safe application, opening, and reclosing

By optimising the amount of PET required to manufacture the bottle, the Sidel StarLite UltraLight CSD base offers a substantial reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):

For a 0.5L bottle, yearly production PET savings for the base combined with the neck would be at 1,125,000 Euros.
For the 1.5L bottle, yearly production PET savings for the base and the neck could reach 1,530,000 Euros.

Combining performance with ultralight weight

The bottle featuring the StarLite UltraLight CSD base comes with a patented and smart design, which combines an innovative base with an optimal body shape. It offers functional benefits without compromising on attractiveness and brand differentiation potential:

Improved consumer experience
No splashing due to the rigid waist embedded in the structured bottle design
No risk of bottle base distortions and perfect bottle stability due to the good base seating surface
Production speed up to an output rate of 2,500 bottles per hour per mould (bphm)

The StarLite UltraLight CSD provides manufacturers with massive savings on TCO, while hard discount chains can enjoy:

the opportunity to release more affordable carbonated beverages in PET bottles.
enhanced competitiveness and productivity without hampering the product quality.
