A lot of the more eco-conscious people have resorted to bringing their reusable water bottles and stopped consuming these plastic bottles. Still, plastics remain a big problem and these bottles in particular take 450 years to break down. There are a lot of studies and moves to combat this issue and now we are getting the \u201cfirst biodegradable water bottle\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cove.co\/\">Cove<\/a><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-418149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/21\/worlds-first-biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-degrade-200-times-faster-than-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"World\u2019s first biodegradable water bottles made with PHA degrade 200 times faster than plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-418149\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/21\/worlds-first-biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-degrade-200-times-faster-than-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"World\u2019s first biodegradable water bottles made with PHA degrade 200 times faster than plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"3d17d0c274c4247bfc2deb43-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"3d17d0c274c4247bfc2deb43-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>These water bottles created by the California start-up is made up of PHA, a material made through fermentation but still looks a lot like plastic.

They will then turn these materials into a polymer in their cells and these can be extracted and turned into PHA. When this material is exposed to other microbes during the composting phase, it can be broken down easily. How long it decomposes though depends on the environment but they estimate it to be around 1.5 to 4.5 years. It\u2019s still not ideal but at least it\u2019s way shorter than 450 years.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-418151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/21\/worlds-first-biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-degrade-200-times-faster-than-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"World\u2019s first biodegradable water bottles made with PHA degrade 200 times faster than plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/5.jpeg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-418151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/5.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/21\/worlds-first-biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-degrade-200-times-faster-than-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"World\u2019s first biodegradable water bottles made with PHA degrade 200 times faster than plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/5.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"3d17d0c274c4247bfc2deb43-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"3d17d0c274c4247bfc2deb43-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-418152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/21\/worlds-first-biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-degrade-200-times-faster-than-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"World\u2019s first biodegradable water bottles made with PHA degrade 200 times faster than plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/6.jpeg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-418152\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2023\/01\/21\/worlds-first-biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-degrade-200-times-faster-than-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"World\u2019s first biodegradable water bottles made with PHA degrade 200 times faster than plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2023\/01\/biodegradable-water-bottles-made-with-pha-are-now-available\/6.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<p>The Cove still water bottles officially became available publicly at Erewhon, an organic grocery in the California area.
