Description
BECOX packaging aims at offering an alternative to plastic bottles (most of them made of PET, polyethylene terephthalate) and solving marine pollution derived from plastic waste. The main feature of BECOX bottle is the essential role its materials play in its production: moulded pulp, chitosan and granulated cork, among others. Besides those materials, which shape the bottle, others such as resins and binders are added to improve the final product. All materials are obtained from recycled raw materials. It is also important to note that these material can be easily disposed of and reused without damaging the environment, as they all are biodegradable and their production cost is low.Other information

Advantages:
The body of the bottle is made out of moulded pulp, this project's main material. Moulded pulp is obtained from paper pulp, whose work material are recycled packages, papers and cardboards. Becox has taken into account features such as design, using straight and geometric lines that differentiate our bottles from those in the market. They were also designed following ergonomic aspects in order to provide a better grip and an easy opening.
