"biota" news and stories

Biodegradable water bottles

When I was out in Colorado last September, I noticed that most of the stores carried a brand of bottled water called BIOTA (I later learned that it stands for Blame It On The Altitude). I also learned that the plastic-like bottles are actually made of corn and will supposedly mulch itself in a few months' time if composted.

BIOTA is based in Ouray, which is just outside of Telluride. I figured they were a regional company, but now it seems that Publix, one of the largest supermarket chains in the Southeast, has started carrying BIOTA. Publix customers should start seeing the bottles on shelves this week.

I'm no water snob, but as they go, I thought BIOTA tasted decent and the bottle didn't seem to impart any odd flavors. Oh and the BIOTA site even has a little time lapse film of a bottle breaking down.
