What is Biopolymer?
Biopolymer HDPE and PET materials are produced using ethanol from the waste of sugarcane as opposed to conventional HDPE and PET which traditionally contain fossil based raw materials such as oil or natural gas. The renewable sugarcane captures CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike regular biopolymers, which can’t be recycled without damaging the recycling chain. Our biopolymers are totally recyclable and provide genuine direct replacement for standard HDPE and PET.
What is the expected life expectancy of the 500ml bottles?
Assuming the bottles are not mistreated we would envisage that they would need to be replaced every 6 months, but don’t worry the bottles and the caps can be recycled when this is required.
How hygienic is this system?
Very, biopolymers do not harbour bacteria and are as hygienic as traditional plastics. We recommend wiping down caps with a simple bathroom sanitiser (ideally eco-friendly) when they are refilled.
