Our unique Plant-based bottles

Business handshake - plant-based bottles deal

Become a partner

We love to see our plant-based bottles being sold in “closed-loop” venues, whereby used containers are collected on-site and undergo proper end-of-life processing. 

We know that this is not always possible and that selling PLA bottles in normal retail is different from a closed loop scenario. Luckily there are more and more end of life solutions know and tested for PLA products, and even the normal end of life solutions like incineration and landfill are not harmful for the environment.

Plant-based bottles are better!

We work with various manufacturers to create a compostable water, juice or milk bottle, cap, and label. We believe in leaving future generations a healthier planet where consumer product packaging has a softer environmental impact, generates less waste, and is both compostable and sustainable.
Petroleum-based, single-use plastics such as bottles, caps, straws, and food utensils clog landfills and contaminate our landscapes and watersheds. We are dedicated to reducing the usage of environmentally unsound, single-use plastics. We utilize only non-GMO, plant-based – PLA, and PHA resins for manufacturing our unique biodegradable bottles/ preforms.

As a result, all of our plant-based bottles can be disposed of through industrial composting, recycled, or incinerated. With years of experience in finding different end-of-life solutions for our PLA bottles, we can support you with the right one for your brand. 3D printing, animal feed, 3D filament, and briquets are one of the innovative end-of-life solutions we have developed.

Sustainable Hydration at the World Aquatics Open Water World Cup

We are proud to supply the Open Water World Cup of World Aquatics with our innovative plant-based water bottles made from bio-based PLA.

At Open Water World Cup events organized by World Aquatics, sustainability is an important priority. To support athletes during competition, specially designed PLA sports bottles with a wide-neck opening are used for rapid hydration and efficient handling during race feeding stations.

Unlike conventional plastic bottles made from fossil-based materials, these plant-based bottles are manufactured from PLA (Polylactic Acid), a renewable biopolymer derived from plant resources. By replacing traditional petroleum-based plastics, these bio-based water bottles help reduce dependence on fossil raw materials while maintaining the performance required in elite sports environments.

Open water swimming competitions take place in sensitive natural environments, including oceans, lakes, and coastal waters, where environmental protection is essential. The use of sustainable plant-based bottles supports event organizers in reducing the environmental footprint of sporting events. The bottles are produced from renewable resources and contain no toxic additives commonly associated with conventional plastic packaging.

Across the international Open Water World Cup circuit, thousands of bio-based PLA bottles are used by athletes every season. Their successful implementation demonstrates that sustainable sports packaging and plant-based hydration solutions can be deployed at scale without compromising functionality, durability, or athlete performance.

As demand grows for environmentally responsible sporting events, plant-based bottles made from renewable materials are becoming an increasingly important alternative to conventional plastic bottles, helping sports organizations move toward a more sustainable future.

New development: Heat resistant PLA bottles

We are pleased to introduce an important advancement in sustainable packaging: heat-resistant plant-based PLA bottles.

The video demonstrates a shock heat test using water at 55°C, showing that the bottle maintains its shape and structural integrity under elevated temperatures. Unlike conventional PLA packaging, the bottle does not soften, deform, or collapse when exposed to hot liquids. Depending on the application requirements, our technology can be engineered to withstand temperatures of up to 80°C.

In addition to improved heat resistance, we can produce transparent heat-resistant PLA bottles capable of performing at temperatures up to 60°C. This unique combination of sustainability, transparency, and thermal stability opens new opportunities for brands seeking environmentally responsible packaging without compromising product presentation.

These heat-resistant plant-based bottles are particularly well suited for markets and supply chains where products may be exposed to higher temperatures during transportation, storage, or retail display. Examples include shipping containers, port facilities, warehouses, and ocean freight routes where heat buildup can be significant.

As a result, our heat-resistant PLA bottles offer an attractive sustainable packaging solution for brands operating in warm climates, including the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, and tropical regions worldwide. By combining renewable plant-based materials with enhanced performance characteristics, brands can reduce their dependence on fossil-based plastics while maintaining the quality, appearance, and reliability expected from modern packaging.

Pilot Projects – Biobased Olive & Vegetable Oil Bottles

Two premium vegetable oil producers approached CET Plant-Based Bottles to explore sustainable alternatives to conventional plastic packaging for olive oil and other specialty oils.

To support their transition toward more sustainable packaging, we first mapped the technical requirements of the products and selected specialized development partners for the project. Based on the performance specifications, CET Plant-Based Bottles developed three different PLA compounds and, together with our masterbatch color partner, produced the first generation of white plant-based bottles for evaluation and testing.

The project has now entered the next phase, focusing on the development of light green, semi-transparent PLA bottles specifically designed for premium olive oil applications. Extensive testing is currently underway, including oxygen barrier performance, oil compatibility, shelf-life validation, UV resistance, and product stability assessments. These tests are being conducted both internally and in close collaboration with our customers to ensure the bottles meet the highest standards for food packaging quality and performance.

Next Steps for the Pilot Project

  • Production of light green, semi-transparent plant-based bottles

  • Development of fully or partially bio-based bottle caps

  • Design and manufacturing of custom molds for the PLA bottles

  • Small-scale pilot production runs for product demonstrations and market evaluation

This pilot project highlights CET Plant-Based Bottles’ commitment to developing innovative plant-based packaging solutions for the food industry. By combining renewable materials, advanced PLA technology, and premium bottle design, we aim to provide high-end food manufacturers with sustainable packaging that delivers on functionality, product protection, and visual appeal while reducing reliance on fossil-based plastics.

Introducing plant-based bottles to the market

We are co-owner of a USA-based company that manufactures a industrial compostable water bottle and cap. In Europe we have partnered with several companies that can provide you with preforms, blown bottles and even with our special PLA resin for bottles and caps. Since 2008 milk bottles made from PLA are already on the market and we see an increase if companies looking for plant-based alternatives in the past years. We have many years of R&D in our product and are ready for clients to show the world it’s possible to step away from fossil plastic.
