Husky has helped bring to market the first compostable water bottle made from corn-based resin.

Husky worked closely with BIOTA, Cargill Dow LLC and SIG Corpoplast to develop a fully compostable bottle for BIOTA's new line of premium Colorado spring water. The bottle is compatible with all municipal/industrial composting facilities, according to Cargill Dow LLC.

The bottle is compatible with all municipal/industrial composting facilities, according to Cargill Dow LLC. Husky supplied BIOTA with the preform production equipment - a 24-cavity HyPET 120 system that is currently producing preforms for 12 oz., ½ liter and 1 liter water bottles. Husky's HyPET machine offers faster cycles, reduced mold wear, better repeatability, lower acetaldehyde generation and better energy efficiency, leading to higher output-per-capital and high-quality preforms.
