Background of Biota Spring Water

Biota is a well-known processor and supplier of bottled spring water. The water comes from underground natural springs in alpine mountain areas. Being underground, the water is consistently pristine and pure, uncontaminated by human contact or agriculture.

From this source, Biota natural spring water is then collected, and it goes through a filtration and ozonation process, to screen out any natural particles. By using ozone instead of chlorine to disinfect the water, there is no residue or any peculiar taste or odor in the water.

Biota spring water bottles come in half liter, one liter and the stubby size which is just right for kid's lunch boxes.

Amazing Biodegradability of Biota Spring Water Bottles

Aside from its premium quality water, Biota is also best known for an environmental breakthrough - its biodegradable spring water bottles.

While ordinary petroleum-based PET bottles will not decompose under any circumstances, Biota spring water bottles can break down gradually if given the right conditions.

Biota spring water dispenser bottles are made from corn, and can decompose within 70-80 days under a particular temperature and humidity setting. Water stored in the spring water bottles is kept pure and sanitary, with the added assurance that its quality will not degrade as long as the bottles remain unopened.

Even if the bottle is biodegradable, it does not start composting until it is empty and heated under the right conditions of high humidity, presence of microorganisms and very high temperatures. Once it composts, it breaks down into carbon dioxide, water and organic substances that will not harm the environment.

Biota's technology has been used for making plastic cups but not for storing bottled water of other competitors such as Ozarka Spring Water.

Where to Buy Biota Spring Water

Currently, Biota spring water is sold only in health food stores and gourmet shops, but the company plans to make the product more available through other types of retailers and through the internet.

You can contact Biota's corporate offices by phone or email to make any inquiries.
