Synopsis Lipman Bottle Company, the leading bottle distribution company in Albany, New York

started distributing bottles of large bottle manufacturers on 1909. From then on, they started
to adapt to the changes in the bottling industry such as the use of plastics, which prove to be
profitable on their end. They grab the opportunity to distribute and print bottles with different
shapes and sizes for clients who liked the convenience of their dual services.

The energy consumed making a plastic bottle is significantly lesser than that of a plastic bottle.
Besides, due to the light weight of plastics, transportation charges are much lesser. Plastics can
also be recycled after use, which additionally brings down the costs. If a good plastic recycling
management system exists, the cost per bottle can be lowered significantly.

Using a plastic bottle for insulin is in fact a very good idea. Newer plastics such as COC’s can be
utilized so that they are able to overcome limitations of glass bottles. Previously, plastics were
being considered as a very unsafe material for use in the medical field. Doctors and specialists
were feeling safer to stick to the old glass containers.

Coca-Cola Company no use the recycle plastic in their bottles cause the plastic waste is
increasing ten times faster than recycling of plastic soda bottles and seriously effect health and

Glass has several advantages and disadvantages over plastic. One of the main advantages of
glass is that it is inert and non-degradable, and unlike plastics does not release any of its
components into the drug solution (chemical resistance). Insulin in glass bottles tends to have
a longer shelf-life compared to plastic.

We always buy plastic bottled products without knowing whether they are recyclable or not. In
fact, it is estimated that 80% of plastic bottles are not being recycled (Greenupgrader.com). A
nonrecyclable plastic bottle may last as long as 1000 years before it biodegrades completely
(Answers. com). Another notable fact is that 1 ton of recycled plastic bottles would save more
than 7.4 cubic yards of landfill (Earth911.com).

The technology to make 100% recycled-content plastic bottles has been available in the United
States since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave its approval in 1994 for food contact
applications. Coca-Cola Company is abandoning the decades old practice of packaging its soft
drinks in recycled content containers like aluminum cans and glass bottles in favor of non-
recycled plastic. Coca-Cola Company no use the PET in their bottles cause the plastic waste is
increasing ten times faster than recycling of plastic soda bottles.

Question: This is for my industrial design class. We have no lecture for this class at all. We just
have submitted a project at the end of the semester. I came up with this idea because one day
I broke my insulin bottle (I have diabetes). So I have a new idea of plastic insulin bottle instead
of glass bottle so the paper should include:             Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta
cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas that helps in the metabolism of carbohydrates,
by converting glucose into glycogen.

lightweight, shatter-resistant bottles for soft drinks, water, juice and other non-food products.
