Ardagh Group Launches Pilot For Lightweight Glass Bottles
Ardagh Group has teamed up with Dassault Systèmes and EXXERGY for a trial project that aims to increase the strength and reduce the weight of glass bottles.
In January 2022, the three companies will begin ‘virtual twin’ trials on Diageo’s Johnnie Walker bottle to research and develop a coating that will make the glass bottle lighter without compromising its strength and shape.
A ‘virtual twin’ is a real-time digital representation of a product or process used to model, visualize, and predict innovations before physical trials occur.
The lightweight glass bottle will be 100% recyclable and, if successful in the virtual trial, will undergo glass bottle testing from the summer of next year.
