Biodegradable Water Bottles
In the clear and blue world of PET… It’s good to be GREEN.
GoodPac Plastics in coordination with ENSO Bottles LLC with EcoPure™ and RESILUX America LLC is pleased to announce the introduction of
the first and only truly biodegradable and recyclable PET bottles as certified by Bio-Tec Environmental, in cooperation with The University of New Mexico, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, and Northeast Laboratories Berlin, Connecticut.
In an effort to help reduce plastic bottle waste, ENSO Bottles LLC with EcoPure™ in cooperation with Bio-Tec International has developed this technology for the PET bottle industry through a specially formulated and patented additive. PET bottles manufactured with the ENSO additive are biodegradable and recyclable and contain no BPA.
GoodPac is excited to be one of the first bottle manufacturers in the United States to offer this amazing new technology.
“Our customers and consumers have been asking for an environmentally friendly plastic bottle. We teamed up with ENSO Bottles LLC, and RESILUX America LLC to provide them with what is claimed to be the world’s first truly biodegradable plastic bottle,” said Jim Goodwin, President of GoodPac Plastics. “Over the years, we’ve taken special pride in producing high quality products. Now, by adding our environmentally friendly ENSO bottle, not only do we continue to offer excellent quality products and superior service, we are doing our part to help to encourage bottle recycling and effectively eliminating plastic bottle waste.” said Goodwin.
Hugh Goodwin, CEO of GoodPac, was a pioneer in the bottled water industry, starting Crystal Springs Pure Water Co. back in the mid-1960’s in Decatur, Georgia. Today, GoodPac Plastics, still family owned and operated, has been providing high quality PET bottles since 1997.
ENSO Bottles, LLC, of Phoenix, Arizona is an environmental company dedicated to creating “Bottles for a Healthier Earth.” ENSO biodegradable bottles are certified by Bio-Tech Environmental in cooperation with The University of New Mexico, Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences, and Northeast Laboratories Berlin, Connecticut. ENSO bottles are FDA approved for contact with food and are OSHA approved as non-hazardous. The ENSO additive to PET is designed to biodegrade in anaerobic (no oxygen, no light) or aerobic and compostable environments. ENSO also certifies that the biodegradable PET has the ability to be intermingled with standard PET during recycling.
RESILUX America, LLC of Pendergrass, Georgia, a producer of resin preforms, is known worldwide in the PET packaging market. Originally based out of Belgium, RESILUX has been instrumental in the development, production, and distribution of the biodegradable resin preforms. “We’re excited to be working with GoodPac to provide bottlers with the ENSO biodegradable bottle. Together, we’re going to have a huge impact on reducing plastic bottle pollution,” said Danny Clark, President of ENSO Bottles. Gene Ross, Vice President of GoodPac, notes, “The use of biodegradable PET resin is essential “green” technology for the entire beverage industry. We have biodegradable resin available NOW to produce an array of bottle sizes. Biodegradable PET can be used in stock bottles or proprietary bottle ideas and needs.”
