JUGIT milk packaging

Developed by Dairy Crest in association with the Sainsbury`s supermarket chain, JUGIT offers consumers a pouch-based format that uses substantially less packaging material than conventional plastic milk containers, allied to the convenience of an easy-to-pour, reusable jug manufactured by RPC Market Rasen.

The secret to JUGIT`s success is an innovative two-part lid featuring a hollow spike attachment, which perforates the pouch as a natural consequence of assembly. After the pouch is dropped into the jug and the main body of the lid closed, trapping the top of the bag using secure clips, the spike is inserted to perforate the pouch. The top of the attachment then flips open to provide a handy, recloseable pouring spout.

Eco Elise


The new Lotus Elise concept uses natural materials in its construction. It has hemp in its seats and body panels, water based paints, wool and sisal carpets.
Its an interesting concept but what I want to buy is a even smaller, even lighter Lotus with a smaller efficient engine (perhaps keeping in the Toyota family and using the 1.0 VVT-i or 1.3 VVT-i).
That would be the perfect replacement for my Smart Roadster.

Gordon Murray T25

Autocar have further details of Gordon Murrays T25 car. I've been excited about this car for so long along with what he was happening with the Smart Roadster with Project Kimber. It could easily to be the next car in my drive. All I want is a small, nippy, super light weight car. Just look at the workshop Murrays set up.
Whatever he produces hope it's more appropriate than the €450,000, 218mph, windsreenless 2 seater McLarens working on now.
