3 Circles Bottle

All individual elements and the entire life cycle of the "3 Circles" bottle have been designed to be sustainable. This is because it is made from 100% recycled PET and deliberately dispenses with a label, which is generally not fully recyclable. Instead, it was decorated using digital direct printing: The inks used for this dissolve without leaving any residue in the recycling process, meaning that the bottle material can also be reused for food packaging in subsequent life cycles without any loss. A tethered cap was chosen as the closure. This remains firmly attached to the bottle body even after opening and therefore meets the requirements of EU Directive 2019/904.
