Market debut for first biodegradable water bottle
by Thomas Reiner
Premium organic grocer Erewhon has launched what it says is the “world’s first fully biodegradable water bottle” in Los Angeles. The bottle, developed by U.S. startup Cove, has been certified as biodegradable by TÜV Austria, including the cap. It is made of PHA, which is extracted from organic residues or CO2 via a fermentation process.
