01 · PRINCIPLE & RATIONALE

Intended function
and associated requirement.

PRINCIPLE

The body is not a neutral shell: it distributes load, contact and water visibility across distinct yet continuous surfaces.

WHY IT IS INCLUDED

The pebble-shaped section sits naturally in the hand, resists rolling and preserves a long window for checking fill level and cleanliness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Contains 500 mL, carries loads, guides the grip and integrates the water window, SoftFold and base. Three longitudinal spines carry loads around the grip recesses. The anti-roll section, continuous base and wall-thickness map must be developed as one system. 208 × 76 × 60 mm and 34–40 g define a pre-CAD envelope, not mould-ready dimensions or measured values.

02 · TECHNOLOGY STACK

Technologies, roles
and approval gates.

T-01

ICE PEBBLE anti-roll section

Role: Distributes grip and load across one continuous asymmetric section.
Why: Creates a distinctive bottle architecture while resisting rolling without appendages.
Approval gate: Dimensioned CAD, CAE and 3D scan.

T-02

Controlled wall-thickness map

Role: Separates structural spines, the water window and collapsible zones.
Why: Places material where it performs and enables SoftFold.
Approval gate: Micro-CT correlated with the blow-moulding model.

T-03

ISBM / EBM screening

Role: Selects the forming route compatible with the PHA blend.
Why: Geometry cannot be frozen before real rheology is known.
Approval gate: Process DOE on a commercial grade.

04 · MASTER PARAMETER REGISTER

Everything to be defined,
measured or certified.

A field without evidence is never filled with an invented number: it remains “To be determined”, together with the method required to close it. This is what makes the technical record verifiable.

RELEASE

CTQ + traceability

Preform and blow-moulding routes remain to be selected after rheology and distribution trials. The asymmetric geometry requires process CAE and micro-CT on early lots.

08 · EVIDENCE POLICY

Traceability
for every parameter.

Mass is reduced only after drop, top-load, barrier and shelf-life requirements are met. AQUA-PHA remains a research platform whose bio-based origin and end-of-life route require grade-specific evidence.

This page is the technical register for the R2 configuration. It separates design values, targets, calculations, measurements and certifications. Open fields identify the exact test or document required to close them.
