UK’s market has got its first corn-based biodegradable bottle on its shelves. As part of its fund raising activities with environmentalism, the UK-based mineral water company, Belu Natural Mineral Water has launched it.
The plastic-made mineral water bottles are not only biodegradable, but compostable as well. The plastic of which the bottle is made of is in turn made of corn! NatureWorks a Cargill unit provided this corn-derived plastic.
So, UK will have to worry little about its soaring landfills built from plastic heaps, which are non-biodegradable. It takes just 12 weeks to compost the bottles back to the earth commercially.
According to some companies, the market will grow by about 20 per cent a year.
