How can that be? The 120% sustainable NaKu PLA bottle – is more than 100% sustainability possible?
Lizzy speaks directly with Johann Zimmermann from NaKu to learn more about the 120% sustainable NaKu PLA bottle
The 120% sustainable NaKu PLA bottle – is more than 100% sustainability possible? According to Johann Zimmermann, the new NaKu bottle made of PLA/bioplastic achieves exactly that: 100% plant-based raw materials plus 20% recycled PLA guarantee natural and absolutely petroleum-free drinking pleasure. Lizzy speaks directly to Johann Zimmermann from NaKu to find out more.
NaKu organic bottles or PLA bottles are made of natural plastic, made from renewable (plant-based) raw materials (PLA - polylactic acid), which are guaranteed to be free of any plasticizers (phthalates, etc.). They are also 7% lighter than conventional plastic and therefore also save CO2 during transport. At the end of their product life cycle, the NaKu PLA bottles can simply be recycled or composted* and therefore do not pollute the environment with long-lasting plastic waste or microplastics.
By combining plant-based raw materials with resource-saving recycling of bioplastics, NaKu can come a step closer to its vision of a sustainable yet practical plastic bottle. The NaKu PLA bottles are suitable for food as well as for cosmetics or cleaning agents. Despite its lower weight compared to PET bottles, the material of the NaKu PLA bottle is very hard and rigid.
