All plastic is not the same! 
PET material is strong and lightweight, and most commonly used to make soda and water bottles. This material is hygienic, non-toxic and helps to retain freshness, which makes it perfect for all food applications.
PET is the most recycled plastic in the world! Once it’s recycled, it becomes rPET. When you see rPET, you know that we are using recycled PET bottles to make our BOTTLEBOX containers.
rPET is a valuable infinite resource that can be used over and over. Each BOTTLEBOX® can be recycled, recovered and reused to make other products, such as a berry container or a new BOTTLEBOX®.
Our goal is to keep all recycled PET in play, which both reduces the need for new material, and diverts plastic from landfills and oceans.
Research shows that post-consumer recycled PET (rPET) is more sustainable than both compostable packaging materials and virgin PET.
By using BOTTLEBOX®, you are contributing to a more sustainable environment. Since 2011 we have used over 5.7 billion recycled bottles. That’s equivalent to:
Please recycle all your BOTTLEBOX® containers, as well as other PET food packaging and bottles*. Once you do that, we can take it from there:
*Note about recycling of black containers: Unfortunately, black bases are not recognized by optical sorters in the recycling facilities, and thus not recovered. If you want to be sure you can recycle your container, please use clear or any other color than black.
PET/rPET has a better recycling infrastructure than other sustainable materials
