Avoid bottling valuable (organic) oils in conventional, petroleum-based plastic bottles. NaKu bio bottles, unlike PET or rPET bottles, are made from plants and lactic acid. Therefore, they contain no harmful plasticizers such as bisphenol A, phthalates, or antimony, and are made from 100% bioplastic (PLA/rPLA).
While crude oil is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive, natural, rapidly renewable plant resources offer an important source of raw materials for sustainable oil bottle production.
NaKu bio-bottles are also compostable according to DIN 13432! Unlike PET or rPET, for example, these bottles do not produce any permanent, potentially harmful microplastics when they decompose . In addition, NaKu PLA/rPLA bottles made from natural plastic are 7% lighter than conventional petroleum-based plastic bottles! Therefore, in addition to all the other environmentally friendly aspects, CO2 emissions are also reduced during transport . Compared to glass bottles, this weight advantage has an even greater impact on transport, and they also require less storage space.
The NaKu bottle, made from renewable resources, is available in various standard sizes for edible oil manufacturers and bottlers. For larger quantities, custom bottle shapes and coloring are also possible. Sleeving is available even for smaller quantities. Learn more about NaKu bio-bottles here.
NaKu bottles made from bioplastic are not suitable for hot filling due to the natural raw material and are also not dishwasher safe. The maximum operating temperature of the bioplastic bottles is 55°C. In many cases, depending on the contents, wiping or warm washing is sufficient for reuse. If reuse is not possible, thermal recycling only releases as much CO2 as the plant absorbed or bound during its growth. This represents a further significant advantage compared to the thermal recycling of bottles based on petroleum-based plastics.

Topic Petroleum Plastic Oil Bottles & Health
The infographic "Is there anything greener than rPET?" shows the material comparison between rPET and rPLA. Bottles made of rPLA perform better, especially in the areas of health, raw materials and sustainability.
Topic Pollutants – Benzene
The new study by the University of Vienna also found that the PET bottle releases carcinogenic benzene into the oil over the storage period.
The researchers in this study tested the stored sunflower oil for benzene after 56 days and measured a concentration in the samples stored in PET bottles that is 140 times higher than permitted for drinking water. Recycled PET performed even worse. Benzene is a strong-smelling liquid that is contained in gasoline, for example. Even in small quantities, it poses a health risk because the substance is classified as carcinogenic.
Further research on this topic shows that benzene is already present in PET plastic – normally, however, harmlessly bound within the molecule. During the PET bottle manufacturing process, the plastic is melted at approximately 260°C to allow it to be shaped. This heat damages the material, causing some of the PET molecules to break down, releasing the previously bound benzene. Over time, this now unbound benzene is leached from the plastic and remains in the oil. The reason why recycled PET fares even worse is obvious: during the recycling process, it is exposed to melting temperatures a second time, and impurities such as PVC can further promote the formation of benzene .
In comparison to the PET bottle, the NaKu bottle tested in this study is made of completely natural materials (sugar as the raw material), which is why no harmful substances can be released from the bottle.
1 According to a study, one liter of oil contains as much benzene as is inhaled by smoking more than 4 cigarettes.

The advantages of bottles made from natural, plant-based raw materials for edible oil bottling
120% sustainable – plant-based raw materials
Is more than 100% sustainability possible? The new NaKu bottle made of PLA/bioplastic achieves exactly that: 100% plant-based raw materials plus 20% recycled PLA.
Pollutant-free – benzene-free
The NaKu bottle is made of completely natural materials, which is why no harmful substances such as benzene can be released from the bottle. It also does not contain any plasticizers such as bisphenol A, phthalates or antimony.
Microplastic free
When the NaKu PLA/rPLA bottle rots, no permanent microplastics are created.
Compostable
The NaKu PLA/rPLA bottle is compostable according to DIN 13432.
Storage
The lifespan of the NaKu PLA/rPLA bottle is the same as that of a normal PET bottle. In order to decompose, it needs an environment like that in a compost or an industrial composting plant (DIN 13432).
Weight saving
The NaKu PLA/rPLA bottle is 7% lighter than conventional plastic! This also reduces CO2 saved.
