First PET bottle made entirely from plants
The Coca-Cola Company has unveiled the world's first PET plastic bottle made entirely from plant materials.
Launched at the World Expo - Milan, PlantBottle packaging uses technology that converts natural sugars found in plants into the ingredients for making PET plastic bottles. The packaging looks, functions and recycles like traditional PET but has a lighter footprint on the planet and its scarce resources.
PlantBottle packaging can be used for a variety of packaging sizes and is suitable for water, sparkling, juice and tea beverage brands. The company uses sugarcane and waste from the sugarcane manufacturing process to create the fully recyclable packaging.
