Winning the race for a more efficient bottle
Thinner, cheaper, stronger, more ergonomic, and more sustainable bottles are wins for both Gatorade and consumers. Not only is the new bottle easier to hold, but more bottles can ship per pallet. And the bottles reduce environmental impact, lower costs, and look like a next-gen product.
