MASS
Annual material use equals mass multiplied by volume. Every gram must serve a demonstrated function.

INDUSTRY · GATED DEVELOPMENT
An industrial path with measurable criteria.
AQUENORA progresses through tests and stop/go decisions. Each investment authorises the next only when geometry, material, process and performance meet the agreed criteria.
STAGED INVESTMENT
Reduce risk
before tooling.
The R2 configuration is a design basis, not mould-ready geometry. The industrial buyer or partner enters before final CAD to align neck standards, equipment, performance, quality control and target cost.

REQUIREMENTS
Capacity, shelf life, filling line, logistics, channel and performance are agreed with the industrial buyer or partner.

GRADE & PROCESS
A purchasable resin is compared with a control solution on a real process.
- 03TO BE CLOSED
PARAMETRIC CAD
Form, neck, walls, closure and base become dimensioned, toleranced geometry.
- 04TO BE CLOSED
DFM & SIMULATION
Demoulding, wall distribution, loads, drop behaviour and palletisation are assessed.

FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES
Grip, closure, FlowCrown, ThermoSnow and SoftFold are tested separately.

PILOT LOT
The first near-industrial lot measures variability, scrap and process capability.

FILLING & LOGISTICS
Filling, capping, sealing, case, pallet and transport close the DVP&R.

RELEASE
Compliance, specifications, control plan and business case authorise—or stop—the launch.
COST DRIVERS
The variables that determine
pack cost.
Unit cost and investment become comparable once geometry, materials and process are frozen and consistent RFQs have been received. Every result must remain traceable to its inputs.
CYCLE
Forming time determines capacity, cavity count and conversion cost.
SCRAP
Real yield enters the cost model before any commercial figure is used.
LINE SPEED
Closure, indicator and inspection systems must sustain the required production speed.

SUPPLY-CHAIN REQUIREMENTS
Manufacturing.
Logistics.
Trade.
Use.
MANUFACTURING
Process window, wall distribution, repeatability, vision inspection and scrap.
LOGISTICS
Top-load, vibration, case, pallet, temperature and transport.
TRADE
Footprint, stability, display, handling and shelf performance.
CONSUMER
Understanding, opening, grip, flow, closing and end of use.
DECISION GATES
Five approvals

Prepare a
joint review.
The first investment is a focused sprint covering requirements, IP, CAD and DFM. Its output is a documented decision: continue, correct or stop development.
