Why do we use single-use bottles made from recycled PET (rPET)?Updated 8 days ago

Because they’re lightweight, eco-friendly, and easy to recycle!

We made a conscious decision to use single-use bottles made from recycled PET (rPET)—out of conviction and a sense of responsibility toward the environment. rPET is made from used plastic bottles and is therefore part of a functioning recycling cycle.

Compared to glass, rPET bottles are much lighter, shatterproof, and more energy-efficient to manufacture and transport. This reduces CO₂ emissions, conserves resources, and makes shipping more sustainable—no heavy packages or elaborate protective packaging required.

Our bottles are part of Germany’s nationwide DPG deposit system. You can return them at any standard deposit machine—at the supermarket, gas station, or beverage store—with no hassle. You’ll get a €0.25 deposit refund for each bottle. They’re recycled and reused—closing the loop.

In short: rPET is the smart, sustainable solution that protects our kombucha, saves you the hassle of lugging heavy bottles, and is good for the environment at the same time. 🌍♻️
