A positive message goes a long way. My question is why are they are using are oxo-degradable plastic? Oxo-degradable means that their bottles degrade into smaller and smaller pieces. An oxo-degradable bottle doesn’t go away; the particles just get to small to see. We looked at both the PLA (Corn starch) plastics and oxo-degradable plastic bottles and decided that we needed a product that was more environmentally friendly. Neither the PLA nor Oxo-degradable was an environmentally friendly alternative so we developed a biodegradable PET plastic bottle. The ENSO plastic bottle will break down in a landfill environment and produce gases that can be used to produce clean energy. I still think they have a great product, but I would be more positive if they used a plastic bottle that biodegraded. Max http:www.ensobottles.com I really like the theme for these water bottles.
