Keeping cool takes a lot of bottle.

Summary

To avoid transport of large quantities of empty bottles for re-filling, "skeletons" of small plastic bottles are transported. On arrival at the bottling plant, they are heated and put under pressure to restore their original shape. Nevertheless, the bottom and the neck must be kept at low temperature during heating and blowing to avoid brittleness.
