The special soda bottles are topped with hat-like 3D-printed toppers and will be auctioned off in support of the plastic-free charity Surfers Against Sewage, as chosen by the royal couple as one of their official charities. Each of the hat-shaped soda bottle caps is 100% recyclable and boasts a unique design inspired by looks that have previously been worn by females in the royal family. Those who are interested in getting their hands on one of the 50 limited-edition SodaStream bottles have the chance to do so online for a limited time ahead of the royal wedding. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** The use of eco-friendly materials for soda packaging could disrupt the industry. - **3D Printing:** The use of 3D printing technology for packaging could lead to personalized and unique designs, disrupting traditional packaging methods. - **Charitable Collaborations:** Collaborations with charities can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for brands to align with socially responsible causes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage:** The beverage industry can leverage eco-friendly packaging and 3D printing to create unique and sustainable products. - **Packaging:** The packaging industry can innovate by exploring eco-friendly materials and 3D printing for customized designs. - **Charitable Organizations:** Charitable organizations can seek collaborations with brands that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Attached Cap Drink Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purity-soft-drinks.md) - [Celebratory Coronation Liqueur Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pimms-coronation-edition-bottle.md) - [Retro Soda Collab Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-drinkware.md) - [Recyclable Label-Free Soda Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprite-bottles.md) - [Vitamin-Enhanced Sparkling Water Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-sodastream-flavors.md) - [Plastic Reduction Concierges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sodastream-sustainability-concierge.md) - [Celebratory Coronation Housewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kings-coronation-products.md) - [Upcycled Strawberry Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonky-strawberry-gin.md) - [Customized Sparkling Water Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sodastream-art.md)
