Who knew water could be bottled in a circle and milk could be packaged into a square. It is very interesting to see the varitey of shapes businesses are using for their packaging.

The media spin is all about these "eco alternatives" but you never hear about opposing point of view, It is true that we need to rethink the packaging paradigm including all the R's: Reduce, reuse, recycle, repurpose, renew, refill.

There is a big debate whether PLA is better than alternatives. As for the comment about recycling, recycling only extends a products life. You can't recycle a product into the same product, you are essentially downcycling. It's well worth reading the book Cradle to Cradle. It should go in this order: REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE Interesting post PD. Are the plastic bottles made from plastic (as in oil) or PLA/cornstarch?

It should go in this order:
REDUCE
REUSE
RECYCLE

Interesting post PD.

Also, no chemicals need to be used to coat the plastic prior to use. This product, to me, is greenwashing at it’s best. There is no such thing as “eco” plastic that is made from petroleum, no matter what anyone does to it.

A year of drinking and you have your decorations. If ever a design suggested a reuse at Xmas, OGO does.
