A bottle and carrier assembly adapted to facilitate the recycling of polyester resin bottles is disclosed. The assembly comprises a reusable bottle carrier having a side wall and a bottom surface, and a recyclable polyester resin bottle. The bottle has an upper neck portion, an elongate body portion, and a rounded bottom portion which prevents the bottle from standing upright when placed on a level surface. The bottle is removably disposed within the bottle carrier in an upright configuration, with the side walls of the bottle carrier overlying a major part of the bottle elongate body portion. The side walls of the bottle carrier and the elongate body portion of the bottle have interengaging portions for maintaining the upright configuration of the bottle. The rounded bottom portion of the bottle serves to discourage the removal, by a consumer, of the recyclyable bottle from the reusuable bottle carrier.
A bottle and carrier assembly adapted to facilitate the recycling of polyester resin bottles, comprising a reusable bottle carrier having side wall means and a bottom surface, and at least one recyclable polyester resin bottle having an upper neck portion, an elongate body portion, and a rounded bottom portion which prevents said bottle from standing upright when placed on a level surface, said one bottle being removably disposed within said bottle carrier in an upright configuration with said side wall means of said bottle carrier overlying a major part of said bottle elongate body portion, said side wall means of said bottle carrier and said elongate body portion of said one bottle having interengaging portions for maintaining said upright configuration of said bottle, and whereby said rounded bottom portion of said bottle serves to discourage the removal by a consumer of said recyclable bottle from said reusable bottle carrier.
A bottle and carrier assembly adapted to facilitate the recycling of polyester resin bottles, comprising a reusable bottle carrier formed of a pigmented, recycled, polyester resin and having side wall means and a bottom surface, and at least one recyclable bottle formed of clear, virgin polyester resin and having an upper neck portion, an elongate body portion, and a rounded bottom portion which prevents said bottle from standing upright when placed on a level surface, said one bottle being removably disposed within said bottle carrier in an upright configuration with said side wall means of said bottle carrier overlying substantially all of said bottle elongate body portion to shield the contents of said bottle from light, said side wall means including an exterior surface for carrying labels and the like without the need for adhering labels to said recyclable bottle, said side wall means of said bottle carrier and said elongate body portion of said bottle having interengaging portions for maintaining said upright configuration of said bottle with said interengaging portions configured to frictionally engage each other and so as to releasably secure said bottle within said bottle carrier, whereby said interengaging portions and said rounded bottom portion of said bottle together serve to discourage the removal by a consumer of said recyclable bottle from said reusable bottle carrier.
A bottle and carrier assembly adapted to facilitate the recycling of polyester resin bottles, comprising a reusable bottle carrier having side wall means and a bottom surface, and a plurality of recyclable polyester resin bottles, each of said bottles having an upper neck portion, an elongate body portion, and a rounded bottom portion which prevents said bottles from standing upright when placed on a level surface, each of said bottles being removably disposed within said bottle carrier in an upright configuration with said side wall means of said bottle carrier overlying a major part of each of said bottle elongate body portions, said side wall means of said bottle carrier and said elongate body portions of each of said bottles having interengaging portions for maintaining said upright configuration of each of said bottles, and whereby said rounded bottom portion of each of said bottles serves to discourage the removal by a consumer of said recyclable bottles from said reusable bottle carrier.
