BOTTLEBOX ® is the original take-out container made from post-consumer recycled 
PET bottles. PET is the most recycled plastic in the world, and BOTTLEBOX ® containers can be recycled again after use.
By using BOTTLEBOX ®, you contribute to a more sustainable environment. Since 2011, we have used over 12.2 billion PET bottles, which reduces the need for new material and keeps plastic bottles out of landfills and oceans.
That is equivalent to:
0
million
pounds of plastic saved from landfills and oceans
0
million
pounds of CO2 saved from the atmosphere
0
cars taken off the road for a year
0
households’ electricity usage for a year
