Ketchup in Renewable Plastic Packaging, Plantbottle




Heinz will produce ketchup in bottles made from Coca-Cola’s Plantbottle plastic technology.  Thirty percent of the package is made from plants.  …Heinz and Coca-Cola PlantBottles

…   “PlantBottle packaging looks, feels and functions just like traditional PET plastic, and remains fully recyclable.

The only difference is that up to 30 percent of the material is made from plants.

The plant material is produced through an innovative process that turns natural sugars found in plants into a key component for PET plastic.

Currently, PlantBottle is made using sugarcane ethanol from Brazil, the only source widely recognized by thought leaders globally for its unique environmental and social performance.”   …
