Student project design Eco Coke Bottle

For an eco-friendly project, Andrew Kim, a student at College for Creative Studies, redesigned the Coke bottle. The radical change involves changing from the classic Coke curves to a slimmer, squarer figure that would be easier to ship with a stackable, collapsable design, taking up less space. The bottle would be 100% made of biodegradable sugarcane plastic along with a slimmer cap to reduce plastic use.

The renders are convincing and well-executed, but we'd like to know your thoughts on a redesign of the classic soda bottle.
