We are PLA bottles EU

At PLA Bottles EU, we’re dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact by replacing petroleum-based products like bottles, straws, and utensils with eco-friendly alternatives. Our compostable preforms are crafted from non-GMO, plant-based resins such as PLA and PHA, making them a truly sustainable choice.

Our PLA bottles offer versatile disposal options, including industrial composting, recycling, incineration, and even digestion alongside food waste. We are also developing closed-loop systems that enable the collection and proper processing of empty bottles and caps, reducing transportation needs and waste disposal costs.

In collaboration with bottlers, we’re bringing our bottles to market filled with premium water, providing consumers with the finest water in the world, packaged in the most planet-friendly bottle available. By choosing PLA over fossil-based plastics, we’re not only lowering our carbon footprint but also fostering a circular economy and contributing to the creation of plastic-free environments.

Join us in making a positive difference for the planet!

PLA does not create persistent microplastics

 

First findings from a new meta-study conducted by HYDRA Marine Sciences on PLA in the environment found that in contrast to non-biodegradable polymers, PLA will eventually fully hydrolyze and biodegrade, meaning no persistent particles should remain and accumulate in the environment.

In recent years, there has been increasing concern about the environmental and health risks of nano- and microplastics. Everything in the natural world, whether organic or inorganic, breaks down over time. Plants biodegrade into
humus, which ultimately mineralizes into carbon dioxide and water, closing the natural cycles. However, when synthetic materials like conventional, non-biodegradable plastics wear down, they produce persistent nano and microplastics that are out of place in the natural environment. 

There is rightful concern over the impact of synthetic, persistent microplastics, with questions being asked about the implications of their chemistry, potential toxicity, and long-term fate in the environment. As we begin to understand
microplastics’ effects on human and environmental health, biobased and compostable polymers like polylactic acid (PLA) are increasingly viewed as a
more sustainable long-term alternative.

This makes PLA bottles.eu stand out.

A better future

We believe in leaving future generations a healthier planet. It is time for consumer product packaging to have a softer environmental impact, generating less waste, and is both compostable and sustainable. Consumer education regarding composting and the use of other more environmentally-friendly waste management actions accompany the distribution of the product line that we represent.

Closed loop

We distribute our plant-based bottles of water only within “closed-loop” venues. Whereby used containers are collected on-site and undergo proper end-of-life processing. Our goal is to get 90% of the PLA bottles back after use, 90% of the time. Collecting the bottles and converting them to an acceptable and even “value-added” end of life option, is a part of our mission.

Representatives all over the world

With our head-office in the USA, an office in the Netherlands and several representatives in key locations of the world, we have a wide network of specialists that can support your plant-based packaging questions.

15+ years experience

In 2004, we started with the first in the world PLA milk bottle. In 2008, we switched to solving the problem of one of the most polluting single-use fossil plastic products of the world. “The plastic water bottle.” The PLA juice bottle will become the newest member of our product line. Our R&D team is continuously working on more solutions to the single-use plastic problems around the world. We believe that PHA will have a major role to play in that effort.

We use bioplastics for our PLA bottles

Bioplastics are an essential part of the bioeconomy and a fast-growing, innovative industry that has the potential to decouple economic growth from resource depletion and environmental impact. Bioplastics are a diverse family of materials with differing properties. There are three main groups:

PLA is the bio-plastic that we use for our plant-based bottles, caps, and labels. PLA is one of the bioplastics that has the highest volume of production and is the most widespread bio-plastic in the industry. Our PLA bottles are made from sugarcane and are NON-GMO.
