Today, the Aluminum Association congratulated four beverage companies using aluminum packaging that were recognized by BevNET.com¡¯s ¡°Best of 2015¡± product awards. Selected from a pool of nearly 300 new products, line extensions and brand updates, categories included Best Functional Product and Best Product Revamp. BevNET.com is the world¡¯s leading beverage-oriented media company.

Aluminum can products were featured in four of the fifteen product categories, including:

* Best Energy Drink: Hiball Energy

* Best Relaxation Drink: Just Chill

* Best Carbonated Soft Drink: Guayaki Sparkling Yerba Mate

* Best Coconut Water: Harmless Harvest

The BevNET panel specifically cited Hiball Energy¡¯s decision to move from glass packaging to a ¡°cold-activated¡± aluminum can as a reason for its selection.

¡°It¡¯s great to see the packaging benefits of aluminum recognized by the industry through BevNET,¡± said Stephen Gardner, Vice President of Communications at the Aluminum Association. ¡°More and more beverage manufacturers are moving to aluminum for its functionality, light weight and environmental sustainability.¡±
