Earth Renewable Technologies Solves Gaia Herbs' Problem with Plant-Based Packaging
Brands that support healthy and sustainable lifestyles face a contradiction when it comes to one aspect of their products: the packaging. Plastic has dominated the market as the most affordable, viable packaging option for many products but at the cost of lasting environmental impact. However, a North Carolina research team has spent the past decade developing a renewable solution for brands that are unwilling to compromise.
Earth Renewable Technologies (earthbottle.com) uses components from plants and minerals to create renewable materials and plastic alternatives. Driven by respect for the environment, the company’s technology focuses on responsible use of the planet’s limited resources. Its primary innovation is EarthMatter, a proprietary biopolymer that, according to the company, uses no fossil fuel ingredients and does not contain toxic plasticizers.
