Edinburgh based start-up launches world’s first reusable plant-based bottle on Crowdfunder

A Scottish start-up has launched a crowdfunding campaign to launch their innovative reusable plant-based bottle.

The Edinburgh based start-up was founded by Amee Ritchie and Jake Elliott-Hook who wanted to do something about the large number of plastic bottles being thrown into landfill and our oceans and wanted to create a practical solution.

Plastic bottles are one of the biggest contributors to environmental damage with 16 million plastic bottles ending up in landfill every day in the UK alone.
