Our eco-friendly packaging is ideal for still water, soft drinks, fruit juices, smoothies, and much more. With our biodegradable bottles, you can ensure that your products are not only high-quality but also well-packaged.
Avoid using conventional, petroleum-based plastic bottles for products such as fruit juices , smoothies , oils , dairy products , water , etc. Unlike PET or rPET bottles, NaKu 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).
NOW NEW!
The NaKu bottle/can with 150ml capacity.
Ideal for small amounts of liquids, such as shots or concentrates. Extra thick-walled design, large filling opening.
NaKu bottles are also compostable according to DIN 13432! Unlike PET, for example, no permanent, potentially harmful microplastics are produced during decomposition . Additionally, NaKu PLA/rPLA bottles made from natural plastic are 7% lighter than conventional petroleum-based plastic! This weight advantage is even more significant compared to glass bottles.
The NaKu bottle, made from renewable resources, is available in various standard sizes. For larger quantities, custom bottle shapes and colors are also possible. Sleeving is available even for smaller quantities. Learn more about NaKu bio-bottles here.
Due to the natural raw material, NaKu bottles are not suitable for hot filling and are not dishwasher safe. The maximum operating temperature is 55°C. In many cases, depending on the contents, wiping or warm washing is sufficient for reuse. If this is not possible, thermal recycling only releases as much CO2 as the plant absorbed or bound during its growth. This represents a further advantage compared to the thermal recycling of bottles made from petroleum-based plastics.

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 of microplastics and nanoplastics
The publication of a new study from the USA on the topic of “microplastics and nanoplastics” has brought PET bottles into the focus of reporting.
Naixin Qian's team at Columbia University in New York obtained conventional 1-liter plastic water bottles from three different US supermarkets and examined them for nanoplastics. Each of these PET bottles contained around 3 plastic fragments.
Unlike PET bottles, we don't ingest permanent microplastics when drinking from bioplastic bottles, as these are made from PLA (simply put – based on lactic acid/sugar). They also don't contain plasticizers such as bisphenol A, phthalates, or antimony. You can read the publication of the aforementioned study, titled " Rapid single-particle chemical imaging of nanoplastics by SRS microscopy, " here.
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 was 140 times higher than permitted for drinking water. Recycled PET performed even worse.
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.
You can find more information on this topic and the link to the study here.
The advantages of bottles made from plant-based raw materials
pollutant-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.
