The Eco-Bottle or Eco Bottle looks and feels like a plastic bottle but it made from corn (maize) As a result when your finished with it put it in your compost heap and in 4 to 10 weeks it ‘disappears’. This little miracle is made in a carbon neutral environment so no greenhouse gases are emitted in its production.
It has been proposed to impose a ‘tax’ on manufactures and producers that do not use the Eco-Bottle it, just like the plastic bag ‘tax’ that worked so well in Ireland. A tax on plastic shopping bags in the Republic of Ireland has cut their use by more than 90% and raised millions of Euro in revenue. Regular plastic bottles use finite resources (e.g. oil and gas) where as corn (maize) is a renewable resource as well as being one of the fuels of the future.
