Compostable juice bottles

Compostable juice bottles made from plants are on the horizon. A plant-made bottle for a natural juice product is the ideal combination. We provide the preforms and locally the preforms can be blown in the correct shape/size bottle. Compostable closures for the bottles will also be provided.
Different neck sizes and different preform sizes for the plant-made bottles for juice, up to 2 liters, can be made.

Compostable juice bottles

Natural Juices in natural packaging. For us, it is the ideal situation. A product/juice made from plants in a bottle made from plants. How natural do you want it?
We think that our plant-made bottles for juice and compostable caps are a good alternative for juice producers to move away from petroleum plastic as a packaging material. We have developed a PLA bottle for juice with a 38mm neck size. 

The bottles and preforms that we produce are for 250ml – 500ml and 1000ml bottles and when a specific size is required for your brand we can make a mold to make a different size preform or a different bottle design. 


If you are interested in the possibilities of transferring your production to plant-based bottles, please contact us and we will be happy to talk with you about what we can do in the near future. By using compostable juice bottles in the packaging of fruit and vegetable juices. a 100% natural end product can be created. No toxic packaging for your natural product.
Our bottles are 100% compostable in an industrial composting facility. They are 100% safe to incinerate if they end up in the incinerator. Our bottles can also be recycled perfectly as mono-stream PLA at a special PLA recycler.
To make optimal use of the marketing we can also supply full bottle shrink sleeves, of course also 100% plant-based. This makes the entire bottle usable from top to bottom as a means of communication to the customer. 

Compostable juice bottles - HPP treatment

Research rapport: Suitability Assessment of PLA Bottles for High-Pressure Processing of Apple Juice
The aim of the study is to test the use of polylactic acid (PLA) bottles as an alternative to (PET) ones for high-pressure processing (HPP) of apple juice. The treatment of PLA bottles at 600 MPa for 3 min did not cause alterations in the packaging shape and content, confirming the suitability of PLA bottles to withstand HPP conditions as well as PET bottles.  

The present study assessed the feasibility of employing PLA bottles as an alternative to PET ones, for the packaging and subsequent HPP treatment of apple juice. In a perspective of improving food chain sustainability, PLA and other bioplastics may replace conventional plastics for some specific uses, such as fresh and minimally processed products, offering sufficient performances able to maintain the shelf life standards. This study proved that PLA is a valid sustainable alternative to conventional PET bottles for the packaging and HPP treatment of apple juice due to its: (i) Biobased nature, (ii) compostability/recyclability, (iii) mechanical resistance and ability to restore the initial shape after HPP treatment, (iv) protection offered to the product, which is comparable with PET for short-term storage.

The Hidden Risks of PET Bottles: Microplastics and Toxic Leaks

At PLA Bottles.eu, we believe in creating a healthier planet, free from the hidden dangers of traditional plastic bottles. While PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles are widely used for beverages and other products, they come with serious environmental and health concerns. Here’s why PET bottles are problematic—and how our PLA bottles offer a safe, eco-friendly alternative.

The Problem with Microplastics

PET bottles degrade over time, breaking down into microscopic fragments known as microplastics. These tiny particles are not only pervasive in the environment but are also entering our food chain and drinking water.

  • Environmental Impact: Microplastics pollute oceans, rivers, and soils, harming marine life and ecosystems. Fish and other marine animals mistake microplastics for food, leading to bioaccumulation of these particles in the food chain.
  • Health Risks: Humans inadvertently consume microplastics through contaminated water and food. Emerging research suggests that microplastics can carry harmful chemicals, disrupt hormones, and may pose long-term health risks.

Toxic Chemicals Leaking from PET Bottles

PET bottles can leach harmful substances into the liquids they contain, particularly when exposed to heat, sunlight, or reused multiple times.

  • Release of Toxins: Chemicals like antimony, bisphenol A (BPA), and phthalates may leach from PET bottles into beverages. These substances are linked to hormonal imbalances, developmental issues, and even certain types of cancer.
  • Reusability Concerns: While PET bottles are often reused, their porous surfaces can harbor bacteria and facilitate further chemical leaching.

The PLA Bottles Solution

Our PLA (polylactic acid) bottles are the answer to the challenges posed by PET bottles. Made from renewable, plant-based materials, PLA bottles are designed with both your health and the environment in mind.

  • No Microplastics: Unlike PET, our PLA bottles do not degrade into harmful microplastics, making them a safer choice for the environment and future generations.
  • Non-Toxic: PLA bottles are free from harmful chemicals. They do not leach toxins into your beverages, ensuring a pure, healthy drinking experience.
  • Eco-Friendly: PLA is biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, reducing waste and minimizing environmental impact.
