Biota Spring Water

I am such a sucker - I saw this at the store and had to buy it - just in the hopes that it really was a good company. I always do this - boost their sales and all that.

the bottle is supposed to completely biodegrade in 80 days. I know, I know, I can drink my tap water for free - but if this project takes off, in the consumer sense - maybe soda companies will begin to use them.

Anyone here know anything about them?

1. Doesn't Have A Long Shelf Life (LOL)

I guess it starts biodegrading once the bottle is opened?

3. I don't know - didn't think of that!

I'll drink it right quick, then.

5. Don't Worry (from the site)

How does the BIOTA bottle composting process work?
BIOTA bottles need high heat, micro-organisms and high moisture levels to break down. A BIOTA PLA bottle will not degrade as rapidly in a home compost pile. When exposed to the necessary conditions, BIOTA bottles will break down into water, carbon dioxide and organic material.

How long does it take for a BIOTA bottle to disappear?
Given the right composting conditions including high heat, humidity and micro-organisms, a BIOTA bottle will disappear in 75 to 80 days...basically 12 weeks.

Will the bottle ever decompose on the shelf?
In order for a BIOTA bottle to degrade it must be opened, emptied and placed under the right conditions.

2. Where is the site to check political donations...David Zutler, CEO

They live in FL and the water is from CO.
