Coca-Cola has not been alone in unveiling 100% bio-based PET bottles in Milan during June.
As previously reported in Sustainable Nonwovens, the drinks giant has introduced a bottle made entirely from plant materials at the World Expo in Milan. This employs BioFormPX paraxylene supplied by Virent and produced at Virent’s Madison, Wisconsin demonstration plant. Taiwan polyester specialist Far Eastern New Century (FENC) worked with Virent and Coca-Cola to convert the BioFormPX to bio-PET resin.
