O-I has expanded its range of lightweight wine bottles in N America. Manufactured at the company's California manufacturing facilities, the latest bottles weigh 397g. The 750ml line of lightweight claret and burgundy bottles is part of O-I's "lean+Green" initiative, designed to create aesthetically pleasing, durable, yet light weight bottles using advanced manufacturing techniques. The result is an improved design that reduces bottle weight and energy consumption. The line is available in a variety of colours, including Champagne green, flint, emerald green and dead leaf green and will be between 16-27% lighter than current products.
