Biotta Organic Juices

Did you know there was a difference between recyclable and reusable bottles? For a long time, I thought they were the same thing. But they’re not. Biotta uses recyclable bottles, not reusable ones. 

To reuse a bottle that contained juice would require extensive cleaning. Here’s why: Unlike mineral water, fruit and vegetable juices leave a residue in the bottles, requiring extensive cleaning. In the case of reusable bottles, this would require a great deal of hot water and a high concentration of chemicals. It would also require the cost of return transportation, to have the bottles shipped back to Biotta.
 

Instead, we use recyclable bottles. Thanks to the heat reclamation during the melting process, the energy consumption of the glass production is reduced by 30%. At the same time, pollutants and CO2-emissions are reduced by the same percentage. That means that glass can be recycled quickly and inexpensively into new packaging. 

Up to 100% of the glass that is recycled can be reused. Additionally, glass is comprised of natural materials. When you look at all the variables, it is more environmentally responsible to bottles fruit and vegetable juices in recyclable bottles, rather than reusable ones. Even though Earth Day is only celebrated one day a year, we like to celebrate it in everything we do!

Biotta produces USDA organic juices, available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles.
