 Lighter Bottle Reduces Plastic Weight Sidel has developed a new bottle, called NoBottle, which uses significantly less plastic. Overall, the bottle drops the weight of a typical water bottle by roughly 1/3rd. The bottle is very flexible, meaning that when you squeeze it, the shape changes almost like a balloon. When you un-squeeze, the shape pops back.  Pitched as a water skin, a new bottle created by French packaging manufacturer Sidel provides a lighter alternative to traditional PET bottles. A regular plastic half-litre water bottle weighs 13 – 16 grams. Sidel's NoBottle weighs just 9.9 grams. According to Sidel, "Water is the largest beverage market by volume with 160 billion litres consumed in 2006. It also represents the highest growth sector and is expected to expand by 5.7 percent annually between now and 2010." On that scale, waste reduction of 20-30% adds up.
