LONDON — Starting next month, Belu Spring Water will launch its "bio bottle," which is made out of a plastic that can decompose in eight to 10 weeks, according to an Aug. 9 report by CNN.
According to CNN, the plastic is made from cornstarch, and Belu co-founder Reed Paget says it is the first of its kind to appear in the United Kingdom. The water itself is taken from a spring in the Shropshire hills in western England.
Belu Water was formed two years ago when a group of people came up with the idea for the business after being inspired by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's campaign to use capitalism to improve the planet, the report said.
