PET Plastic Variant: Summit Elixir On-the-Go (500ml & 750ml) To scale Summit Elixir into a billion-dollar brand, the PET variant is essential for accessibility—think gym bags, travel, convenience stores, and everyday carry—while preserving the minimalist luxury and Rocky Mountain purity vibe. PET (polyethylene terephthalate) allows lighter weight, shatterproof durability, lower production costs, and excellent recyclability (especially rPET—recycled PET—to boost sustainability credentials). This version targets the "premium portable" segment, competing with brands like Smartwater or Essentia but with our unique alpine soul. Key Adaptations for PET Material: 100% rPET (minimum 50% post-consumer recycled content, aiming for 100% in future runs) for eco-luxury appeal. Crystal-clear with minimal blue tint to enhance the glacial purity illusion—PET can achieve near-glass clarity when molded properly. Weight & Feel: ~18-22g for 500ml (ultra-light for portability), yet with a subtle heft from thicker walls in premium zones to feel substantial in hand, avoiding the cheap "crinkly" sensation of standard bottles. Shape Retention: Maintains the elongated faceted-cylinder silhouette (slender prism with soft 8-facet verticals) from the glass version—tall at ~24 cm for 500ml and ~29 cm for 750ml. Slight base widening for grip stability; gentle taper for ergonomic one-hand hold during hikes or workouts. Surface & Details: Subtle embossed Rocky ridge line (same abstract horizon motif) via Mehr sehen
