Avoid filling conventional bottles and cans made from petroleum-based plastics with items such as fruit juices, smoothies, water from water dispensers or drinking fountains, dry goods, etc. Unlike PET bottles and cans, NaKu bottles and cans are made from rapidly renewable plants and lactic acid. Therefore, they contain no harmful plasticizers such as bisphenol A, phthalates, or antimony and are made from 100% bioplastic (PLA).
Our NaKu bottles and containers are ideal for use in hotels, restaurants, and health resorts. Use the NaKu bottle for water dispensers and drinking fountains, or the container for storing food and spices in your kitchen.
As petroleum becomes increasingly scarce and expensive, natural, rapidly renewable resources offer an important source of raw materials. NaKu bottles and cans are also compostable according to DIN 13432 thanks to the natural raw material! Unlike PET, for example, no permanent, potentially harmful microplastics are produced during decomposition. In addition, NaKu PLA/rPLA bottles and cans made from natural plastic are 7% lighter than conventional petroleum-based plastic! Compared to glass bottles or cans, this weight advantage is even more significant, especially when used as a portable drinking bottle.
The NaKu bottle, made from renewable resources, is available in various standard sizes. Our smallest bottle, with a capacity of 150 ml, is ideal for shots. For larger quantities, we can also produce bottles with your individual geometry and size, as well as add color. Sleeving is possible even for smaller quantities. Learn more about NaKu bottles here.
The NaKu can is also available in various sizes. For larger quantities, we can produce your individual can geometry, as well as coloring. Sleeving is possible even for smaller quantities. Learn more about the NaKu cans here.

Topic Health and PET Bottles
PET is currently a hotly debated topic , especially regarding bottles. Recently, many media outlets have reported on microplastics and nanoplastics in PET bottles. The infographic "Material Comparison: Pros and Cons" includes a material comparison between rPET and rPLA (recycled PLA/recycled bioplastic).
If we stay on the topic of health: 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 examined sunflower oil stored for 56 days for benzene and measured concentrations in samples stored in PET bottles that were 140 times higher than the limit for drinking water. Recycled PET fared even worse. Benzene is a strong-smelling liquid found, for example, in gasoline. Even in small quantities, it is considered a health hazard because the substance is classified as carcinogenic. Learn more about this study and the topic "Are PET bottles a concern?" here.

The advantages of carrier bags made from plant-based raw materials
moisture resistance
Unlike most paper bags, bioplastic carrier bags are moisture-resistant. Paper carrier bags are often also coated with conventional materials.
Food stays fresh longer
A study by BOKU shows that fruit, vegetables and bread stay fresh longer in NaKu bags. Thanks to this freshness-keeping function, less valuable food is thrown away.
GMO-free and free from pollutants and heavy metals
To produce the starch, we only use non-GMO corn from European agriculture. To protect health and the environment, we do not use any harmful additives such as bisphenol A, antimony or phthalates.
Fast-growing raw material
The starch used to make the carrier bags comes from fast-growing industrial corn, while the paper is produced from slow-growing trees.
Compostable
The natural plastic is compostable according to DIN standard EN 13432 and is TÜV-certified. In industrial compost, the composting process of the bag takes about 3-5 days. In home compost, with regular circulation and warm weather, it takes 9-12 weeks until the bag is completely composted.
Price advantage over paper carrier bags and sacks
NaKu carrier bags are significantly lighter than paper bags. This means we need considerably fewer raw materials in their production. We pass this price advantage on to you.
energy consumption in production
The production of paper bags and carrier bags requires significantly more energy than the production of carrier bags made from bioplastics. Furthermore, the paper manufacturing process – with all its additives, bleaching, and drying processes – requires an enormous amount of water.

Did you know that conventional hotel cards, access cards and employee cards, as well as bank cards and credit cards, are still made of PVC? PVC as a card material is particularly problematic from an environmental point of view. In Austria alone, 70 million cards are needed every year. One card weighs around 5 grams - so we are talking about 350.000 kg of PVC every year.
We have the solution with the hotel card or access card. For hotels and accommodation providers, the card made of bioplastic, i.e., based on rapidly renewable plant-based raw materials, is the alternative to conventional PVC products.
The sugar card is made from sugar and starch. It already contains 15% recycled bioplastic. The production of the sugar card generates 40% less CO2 compared to PVC cards. This applies to the card itself, without taking into account any embedded antennas or chips.
The map material is compostable according to DIN 13432. The compostability of the entire map depends on the built-in antenna technology and the printing inks used.
A project to recycle the card is underway. A minimum amount of around 1 tonne of material is required for recycling. With a card weight of 5 grams, that is around 240.000 cards. Other products made of bioplastic can also be recycled.
From the white blank card to the refined card – everything is possible! Of course also with barcode, chip and other functions.

Polymer film is ideally suited for applications where stronger paper is required and biodegradability and compostability are important. This also applies to applications where the product may intentionally or unintentionally enter the environment.
The polymer film is appropriately used where long- and medium-term use is required and/or water resistance or humid environmental conditions play a role.
The polymer film is based on rapidly renewable plant-based raw materials (sugar & starch), whereas paper is made from slow-growing trees.
Conventional films (e.g., for plastic hangers, guest signs, luggage tags) are made from petroleum-based PVC. When such films enter the environment, they decompose into persistent microplastics that are hazardous to the health of animals and humans. These films are also usually contaminated with pollutants.
This film can also be used to manufacture various products for hotels and restaurants. For example, hotel door hangers. Do you have an application where you can envision using our polymer film? Then we look forward to hearing from you!
