Highland Laboratories Introduces Earth-Friendly Vitamin Bottles to U.S. Market
Highland Laboratories, Mt. Angel, OR, has become the first in the U.S. to package supplements in Earth-friendly corn-based bottles. Developed by NatureWorks LLC, a Cargill company, the bottles are made from corn-based dextrose instead of petroleum. Known as NatureWorks PLA, the material is the world’s first greenhouse-gas neutral polymer. These Earth-friendly bottles use 68% less fossil fuel than petroleum-based plastics. The technology is finding its way into various packaging forms, including beverage containers and “to-go” food boxes at natural food stores. Highland Laboratories is the first dietary supplement manufacturer to use the innovative material for vitamin bottles.
