Our new and improved Sukin bottles, which are used for most bottled +products, are now made from recycled plastic* . You’ll notice that the bottles for these products are now slightly lighter in colour and in weight due to the change in the type of plastic the bottles are made from, but never fear – the same product you know and love is still inside.
As a company, we are shifting our focus to use as little virgin plastic as possible. rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) is manufactured from used, recycled, and repurposed plastic that is collected and then reprocessed to make new packaging. Switching to rPET is a more environmentally friendly solution as it allows us to reduce
our requirement to create virgin plastic. You will also notice that these bottles are lighter in weight, therefore utilising less plastic overall and further reducing our environmental footprint.
As Australia’s leading natural brand* , it’s no surprise that we are constantly looking to improve our sustainability footprint. Our new bottles are made with rPET, meaning that they are constructed from other existing plastic materials that have been recycled and repurposed into bottles. These can then be recycled and reused time and time again to close the loop. Utilising rPET is a more sustainable option because materials are saved from ending up in landfill, and less virgin plastic is used in our day-to-day processes.
Yes, Sukin bottles made from rPET are recyclable.
