Do not look at it as a small container of water, but it is likely to lead a new revolution. Recently, the first batch of biodegradable water bottles began to be sold in the UK market. Environmentalists hope that the listing of such biodegradable plastic bottles can reverse the terrible trend of increased plastic waste.
Plastic bottles made of corn According to the British "Israeli" reported on the 29th, this plastic water bottle is made by a company dedicated to the manufacture of environmentally friendly products - Belu. It is reported that this "biological water bottle" made of corn can withstand half the weight of Welsh mineral water. Under the promotion of commercial compost, it can be broken down within 12 weeks. If placed in home compost, the degradation takes longer, approximately 9 months to 1 year.
Belu said that the new products they launched will continue to stimulate consumer demand for degradable products. A person in charge of the company said: "Think about the plastic bottle made of corn. How great the contribution to the earth will be."
Though the environmental damage caused by bottled water is very popular, it is still unknown whether this measure can exert enough influence on the community that is now flooded with garbage. Many environmentalists questioned that bottled water reflects an important issue, that is, whether consumers really need to buy so many goods. A recent survey conducted by the Earth Policy Association in the United States showed that bottled water, after being extracted, packaged, and transported, caused 10,000 times more damage to the environment than tap water. However, sales of bottled water have increased by 57% in the past 10 years and reached 154 billion liters in 2004.
Having “great†market potential However, Belu’s officials stated that people always need these drinks, and biodegradable water bottles still have “great†potential.
It is reported that the retail price of this "biological water bottle" is 45 pence. Belu Company claims, every consumer purchases this kind of degradable water bottle, can let a person living in India or Africa provide one month of drinking water.
The first batch of biodegradable mineral water bottles developed and produced by the British company Belou was recently put into the UK market. A revolution in the plastic container and packaging industry is beginning quietly. The water bottle is made of plant-based plastic, which greatly shortens the time required for degradation, and is another new breakthrough in the application of environmentally friendly materials. However, while environmentalists affirmed the environmental value of such plastics, they also questioned the bottled water itself.
Berlu, which produces biodegradable mineral water bottles, is a company that is committed to the development of green products. The bottle is made of corn-based plastic, and although the capacity reaches 0.5 liters, it can be fully degraded in just 12 weeks under the action of commercial fertilizers. Even with household fertilizers, the degradation process can be completed within 9 months to 1 year. It takes hundreds or even thousands of years for ordinary plastics to be buried in the soil to decompose. The widespread use of corn plastic bottles helps to fundamentally curb the unpleasant trend that the UK refuse dump will be flooded with more and more refractory plastic products.
However, the promotion of such biodegradable products in the United Kingdom has its difficulties. Because the United Kingdom does not have the commercial fertilizer required for the bottle to decompose, and the corn polymer as a raw material is also imported from US shipping. With the business scale of Belou, it is still difficult to conduct such a large-scale commercial operation in the long term.
Other companies are also working hard to develop biodegradable products. Marks & Spencer's sandwiches have been packaged in plastic film made from corn starch. The Coca-Cola Company is testing to reduce the weight of plastic bottles and said they are also studying the feasibility of using biodegradable bottles. Nestle is developing a new packaging for its milk chocolate products. The benefit is that it can be decomposed in water.
