AHA! Triangular Sustainable Can

AHA! Coca-Cola is a speculative concept that aims to lend Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd, achieve its sustainability goals expected in ESG 2022 guidelines. The design is triangular in structure for better grip, and the aim is to create 100% recyclable bottles made of sustainably sourced wood and Sugarcane fibre with a biobased material barrier ‘PEF’, which is capable of resisting liquids, CO2 and oxygen, and suitable for beverages. The ultimate goal is a bottle that can be recycled as paper. Sugarcane fiber is renewable, biodegradable, & compostable. PEF is a 100% plant-based, recyclable & degradable polymer. It shows improved barrier properties for CO2 & oxygen, leading to a longer shelf life of packaged products. It also offers higher mechanical strength, which means that thinner PEF packaging can be produced and fewer resources are required.

Superior barrier properties are:

  1. PEF’s oxygen barrier is 10 times better than PET
  2. PEF’s CO2 barrier is 6 to 10 times better than PET
  3. PEF’s water barrier is twice as good as PET’s

 

DESIGN CONCEPT

The world is overloaded with body-shaming scoffing. The notion of ‘thin & beautiful’ & ‘fair & lovely’ is so overbearing that the waist size is often deemed proportionate to the worth of a human. We experience a sense of dissatisfaction with our body image. Amidst this cacophony, AHA! is against it. We want our consumers to consume these products guilt-free. We chose to build customer trust to enact positive change. Through its CSR initiatives, we focus on stopping body shaming with our packaging design & the tagline of ‘ALL BODIES ARE BIKINI BODIES’. Consumers feel that when they use a product of a socially responsible company, they are doing their part. The more socially responsible the company, its community and consumers become more supportive.
