San Benedetto Launches New 100% rPET Bottle

Italian non-alcoholic beverage firm Acqua Minerale San Benedetto has launched the new Ecogreen 1 litre Easy Bottle made from 100% recycled PET.

The initiative will result in a further 9% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions throughout the product life cycle by removing around 300 tonnes of virgin PET from its operations in 2021.

The launch of the new Ecogreen bottle from recycled PET was made possible following the adoption of a legislative amendment that permanently removed the restriction on the production of PET bottles with a maximum of 50% of RPET, the company said.
