RE Series of Eco-friendly recycled bottle
Using the letter R as the design for the bottle body, made from recycled plastic materials.
How does it work?
To reduce plastic pollution, the emergence and application of recycled plastics have become effective solutions to the plastic pollution issue. The Re series bottle design concept uses the letter "R" as a symbol. In addition to practicing the spirit of reducing plastic by reducing, reusing, and recycling, "Re" also means "again" in English, giving the product the power to regenerate for environmental sustainability. The design process focuses on how to reduce the use of plastic and how to promote sustainability. To continue the spirit of sustainable circulation, the Re series products use 100% recycled plastic for both the bottle body and the bottle cap, and use single-color eco-friendly ink for printing on the bottle body, making the entire product easier to disassemble and recycle.
Why is it needed?
The bottle cap uses eco-friendly 100% recycled plastics (PCR) to replace the push type, making it more conducive to recycling compared to the original design. The related descriptive text also discards the adhesive label and adopts single-color eco-friendly ink directly printed on the bottle body, making it easy to disassemble and enter the recycling system. This incorporates environmental awareness into daily necessities, leaving an impression through repeated use and promoting the spirit of RE.
How does it improve life?
Based on statistics, more than 350 million tons of plastic waste are generated globally each year, of which less than 10% can be recycled. To avoid this situation, this time, recycled plastics PE and PP with higher costs are directly used in the bottle cap and bottle body, which can reduce carbon emissions. In addition, using a single material also facilitates subsequent recycling processing, making it easier for people to perform correct recycling steps and achieve the goal of a green sustainable lifestyle.
