Submission + - PepsiCo Unveils Bottle Made From Food Waste. 1
tetrahedrassface writes: PepsiCo has unveiled a new bottle that ups the ante in unfolding "Container War Saga". This new bottle is made of food scraps and waste material from Pepsi's diverse food manufacturing facilities. This new plastic from Pepsi is in response to Coca Cola's "Plant Bottle", with a couple of provisos, and quid pro quos. First this new plastic is entirely made of food waste, and second it hasn't been commercialized yet. Don't let that deter you however. In a few short years all of our High Fructose Corn Syrup infused libations will be available in this mind soothing and reassuring non oil based plastic. PepsiCo says the bottles are made of switch grass, pine bark, corn husks and other materials. They also plan to use orange peels, oat hulls, potato scraps and other leftovers. Yum!
