Good news is scarce nowadays, and this one is great for the planet. The Carbios company has just produced the first transparent bottle from rPTA (Recycled Purified Terephralic Acid). This is truly a tour de force, because this virgin polymer is obtained from old used clothes with a high PET content. To explain to you, this common bottle is the promise of being able to re-use old soiled plastics from second rate to the "first league", as raw material for our everyday objects. A real upcycling sector for plastic, essential for treating the tons of PET waste which today invades our landfills and the oceans. The circle has come full circle !!! With plastic waste, we make blank bottles, textiles, objects, which then produce waste which remakes virgin material, then bottles, ... etc ... It's not beautiful !!
