Pepsico India Moves Towards More Glass

In a bid to add healthier packaging options to their products, PepsiCo India has introduced glass bottles that need not be returned, according to a report by Mint. The company will initially introduce the bottles in metro cities and then sell them in other towns. The price of the product will not change even as the cost of packaging for non-returnable glass bottles is higher than PET bottles, which are currently used. The new form of packaging will be for Pepsi Black initially. According to the report, Pepsi's foray into non-returnable glass bottle packaging is a first for any carbonated beverage maker int he country. Even though the bottle is non-returnable, it can still be reused by consumers.
