Functional Water 34

growth reports Rob Walker, and though it
might appear to be a niche category, from
a value perspective it is worthy of attention
from major soft drinks companies.
PET Wins Again 36
Richard Corbett assesses the state of play
in the global packaging mix for soft drinks.
Whilst it is likely that it was a positive
year for all main formats, he concludes
that PET continued to eat into the share of
other players. Even with soaring oil prices,
PET will probably continue to make further
gains, and the only factor that might
disrupt longer term trends is the environment.
