The world’s two largest bottled water companies are teaming up with a California firm to work on commercial-scale production of containers made of 100% bio-based PET.
The new effort, called the NaturALL Bottle Alliance, brings together Nestlé SA and Danone along with Origin Materials of West Sacramento, California.
Coca-Cola Co. has made its PlantBottle, which contains up to 30% plant material, famous in recent years. Coke worked with other partners on experimental production of bottles with 100% bio-based content.
But the new alliance sees a future with commercial production of bottles made from 100% renewable PET.
