O-I wins award for Lean+Green
Owens-Illinois won the Supplier of the Year and Innovation awards for its Lean+Green lightweight wine bottle range at the Wine Industry Suppliers Australia (WISA) Supplier Awards in Adelaide.
The WISA Supplier Awards recognise excellence in services, supply and manufacturing within the wine industry and acknowledge those companies who provide world-class technical and tactical support to wine industry customers at all levels.
O-I Australia’s Wine Marketing Manager, Maria Armstrong, said the win confirmed Lean+Green as one of the most innovative packaging developments in the Australian wine industry’s history.
“These are the seventh and eighth award wins for Lean+Green since its introduction in 2009,” said Armstrong.
“The awards highlight the major benefits of Lean+Green including greater freight efficiency as well as less water and energy use, helping to reduce carbon emissions.”
The range is manufactured at O-I’s Adelaide plant and narrow neck press and blow (NNPB) technology is used, enabling O-I to reduce the weight of wine bottles by up to 29% and maintain their look and feel.
