Emergent Technologies, LLC, Chanhassen, Minn., has teamed with Plastic Technologies, Inc. (PTI) to commercialize a first-of-its-kind, two-compartment polyethylene terephthalate (PET) container, called the Smiler(TM) .
"The driving force behind the concept was to give brand owners the opportunity to market a single-serving of two compatible products-such as milk and cookies-within one portable container," explains Bill Weber, president and general manager, Emergent. "Every time we showed the concept, people smiled and that's how we came up with the brand name."
