The Case (for some) Plastic Bottles
March 12, 2020

Your favorite beverages, including sparkling water, have to be delivered in some kind of container. But it may surprise you that fully recyclable PET plastic bottles can be one of the most environmentally-friendly ways to package the refreshing sparkling drinks you love the most.

Syfo Beverages Original Seltzer and Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water bottles are produced on-site from fully recyclable, virgin PET which arrives at our Plant in a single bulk truckload shipment of 4-inch pre-forms. Because we blow our own 1- and 2-liter PET bottles on-site, we have eliminated the high carbon footprint of trucking large-sized empty bottles to our facility in multiple trips. When you factor in that communities with strong curbside recycling programs, recycle up to 70% of PET bottles, the benefits outweigh other types of containers (cans, glass, plant based plastic, boxed water). Each of these alternative containers can have major impacts on the environment based on factors such as high energy needs, high carbon footprint, high water needs, low recycling rates, and container degradation due to temperature. In addition there are potential health impacts from chemicals like BPA (Bisphenol A) or BPS (Bisphenol S) present in the linings of certain containers that can leach into the water. Be assured that our PET bottles contain none of these chemicals or other plasticizer chemicals like phthalates which are used to make some plastics softer.

When all of us support community recycling, we are all being good stewards and contributing to a better, cleaner environment. If you are looking for refreshment products that are healthy for you but are concerned about harming the environment, Syfo is an excellent choice. You can learn more about all of our products here.
