Months it takes the world’s first 100% biodegradable spirits bottle to decompose. Developed by Bacardi, the bottle is made of a biopolymer derived from natural plant seeds oils such as palm, canola and soy. The new packaging, expected to debut in 2023 with Bacardi Rum, will replace plastic bottles, each of which takes over 400 years to decompose. The company expects to avoid producing 3,000 tons of plastic annually.
