I love Kangen Water for our overall health

PET bottles (polyethylene terephthalate, PET bottles) have become widely used for the following reasons

PET bottles can be easily molded into a variety of shapes and sizes. This allows us to meet the specific design and size needs of each brand.


When mass-produced, PET bottles have relatively low production costs.


PET bottles can be tightly sealed to prevent leakage of liquids and gases.


With the proper infrastructure in place, PET can be reused and recycled.
However, actual recycling rates vary by region and country.


These advantages have facilitated the widespread use of PET bottles.

However, environmental impact and disposable culture issues,
However, there are issues of environmental impact and disposable culture,
Alternative materials and packaging methods are being explored.


Unlike petroleum-based plastics, these plastics are made from plant-based raw materials (e.g., corn and sugarcane).

However, bioplastics may also take time to break down, and not all bioplastics are environmentally friendly.


This is a biodegradable plastic made from corn starch.
It is often used for packaging refrigerated products and plastic cups.
However, it can be difficult to break down in a typical compost facility or in the environment, as it breaks down only under certain conditions.


It is a biodegradable polyester produced by certain microorganisms and can be degraded in seawater.


Some companies are attempting to introduce fully recyclable paper bottles.
They are made primarily of paper and often have a thin plastic or bioplastic coating on the inside.


In some areas and stores, consumers bring their own containers,
We encourage the purchase of goods at stations for replenishment.
これは新しい容器の生産を減少させることができます。


Fully degradable bottles made from seaweed and algae are also being studied.

There are still many challenges in introducing and promoting these alternatives
However, considering the environmental impact, I would like to see these solutions materialize.
