Our reusable bottle repurposed in DIY
Our 0.33 l reusable bottle is not only the perfect container for our organic kombucha , but also a great basis for getting creative.
Here's how you can repurpose our reusable bottle!
To use our kombucha bottle creatively, all you have to do is peel off the label. You can either soak the bottle in warm water and dish soap, or use a solvent. The latter option, while a bit more time-consuming, is more environmentally friendly.
Turn your bottle into:
- vase
- candle holder
- oil bottle
- Soap dispenser
- lamp
The small accessories you need can be found at craft supply stores or home goods stores. Various well-known online retailers also offer everything you need for your DIY project.
Why we continue to rely on reusable glass bottles for our organic kombucha and not on aluminum cans!
After a long hiatus, the can has slowly found its way back onto supermarket shelves and in cafes. Its image appears to have been significantly revamped. Various retailers are advertising with slogans, such as the one from the Association of Can Manufacturers, which claims that a can has a "99 percent recycling rate." They also emphasize the can's light weight compared to a glass bottle, "saving CO² during transport."
A closer look at the processes quickly reveals that recycled cans don't always actually become new cans. Only 50 to 70 percent of the recycled material is used to make new cans, but let's not forget the necessary 30 to 50 percent of new aluminum that must be added. Conversely, this also means that the fewer cans produced, the less new aluminum is needed. Added to this is the high energy consumption required to produce aluminum cans. Furthermore, cans require a comparatively high recycling effort due to a multi-step process.
What particularly prevents us from canning is the fact that in various countries, such as Brazil and Indonesia, virgin forests and rainforests are being cleared to mine bauxite, the raw material for aluminum. We cannot reconcile this with our organic product. In terms of transport, the glass bottle is still one of the heaviest containers compared to others, and therefore has a higher CO2 footprint . However, the proportion of broken glass in new glass bottles is now up to 83 percent, and thanks to the latest technology, only about 150 ml of water is needed for cleaning each bottle.
