According to the Container Recycling Institute, more than 89 percent of plastic water bottles - approximately 40 million each day - end up as trash or litter. Now BIÔTA Colorado spring premium water has a Planet Friendly alternative, the world's first biodegradable, compostable plastic bottle.
BIÔTA's natural spring water, which originates from one of the world's highest protected alpine springs perched above Ouray, Colorado, is packaged in the world's first plastic bottle made from corn. This unique bottle is compostable and is the only bottle in the world approved by the Biodegradable Products Institute. BIÔTA, which first debuted in Colorado, is now in numerous natural food and grocery stores throughout the western states, and will soon debut in the South East in Publix Supermarkets.
BIÔTA is changing the face of the beverage industry with its compostable bottle. This revolutionary new plastic, developed by Cargill Dow LLC, is derived from a 100 percent renewable resource, corn. BIÔTA bottles disappear in approximately 80 days in a commercial composting environment. All other soda and water beverages are packaged in petroleum-based bottles, which will never degrade under similar composting conditions.
The planet-friendly packaging is only part of what makes BIÔTA so unique. BIÔTA, an acronym for Blame It On The Altitude, also means "local flora and fauna" according to Webster's New College Dictionary. The natural spring water comes from a hidden source more than 9,000 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest protected alpine springs in the world. "This water is pristine, pure and untouched. It is protected deep within the mountain and is captured at the source, flowing directly to our bottling facility in Ouray," said Zutler.
