Plastic is still plastic regardless of the source. As this advertisement clearly states, very little plastic ever gets recycled. This is 100% greenwashing.
Plastic isn't plastic. Hemp plastic for example is perfectly compostable.
But the plastic this bottle uses isn't compositable. The problem with plastic isn't that it's energy intensive, which it's not really. The problem is that plastic waste lasts basically forever.
This is just another greenwashed advertisement. Just use a metal water bottle.
Also I don't know about hemp plastic, but most 'biodegradable' plastic only decomposes at higher heat anyway.
hemp plastic isnt perfectly compostable - most require industrial composting facilities at high temps and still leave microplastics behind, so dont fall for the greenwashing.
