# PET Plastic Cans The 'Invento PET Can' Has Plastic Sides Instead of Metal By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-08-13 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastic-can References: [packagingoftheworld](http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2016/08/packaging-design-for-invetno-pet-can.html) & [inventocan](http://inventocan.com/) As an alternative to cans with a full metal body, Invento uses a plastic can that can easily be labeled to hold a variety of different beverage products. For easy opening, the packaging solution retains a metal bottom and opening system for easy access. In order to show the potential that this product has to revolutionize the [packaging market in Europe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-can) and eventually, across the globe, Creogram was tasked with creating a series of label designs for Invento. Mock-ups include canned coffee, energy drinks and fruit beverages that take on an entirely new look thanks to the transparent, durable and ecological body of the [PET](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidel-returnable-pet) plastic cans. One of the biggest advantages to using [PET plastic as a packaging material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidel-starliter-still) is that it can be recycled to reduce the amount of waste that needlessly ends up in landfills. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Plastic Packaging:** Invento PET Can presents an innovative packaging solution with plastic sides instead of metal which ensures a transparent, durable and ecological body. - **Recyclable Materials:** The Invento PET Can provides a recyclable packaging material, PET plastic, for easy and sustainable recycling and, reusing options. - **Beverage Packaging:** Invento PET Can provides a versatile beverage packaging solution made with PET plastic sides, benefiting the ecosystem with decreased waste. ### Where This Applies - **Beverage Industry:** Invento PET Can offers an innovative sustainable beverage packaging solution with a transparent, durable and ecological body, which can potentially disrupt the beverage industry. - **Packaging Industry:** Invento PET Can presents an ecological packaging solution made of PET plastic sides, which can disrupt the packaging industry due to its recyclable material and easy-to-label design. - **Recycling Industry:** The Invento PET Can presents recyclable PET plastic as an ecological packaging solution reducing the waste that can potentially disrupt the recycling industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Based Beverage Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prototype-pet-bottle.md) - [Tubular Paper-Made Snack Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonoco-paper-can.md) - [Plant-Based Plastic Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-pet-bottle.md) - [Nitrogen-Dosed Drink Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidel-starliter-nitro-bottle.md) - [Modernized Eco Beverage Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aroma-bottle.md) - [Canned Liquid Soaps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niul-cosmetics.md) - [Paperboard Supplement Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-based-canister.md) - [Recyclable Label-Free Soda Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprite-bottles.md) - [Plant-Based Soda Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-bottle.md)
