Amcor Rigid Packaging (ARP) and Danone have launched a 100% recyclable bottle for the Villavicencio water brand, made exclusively for the Argentinean market. The new label-less bottle is made from 100% recycled content and has a reduced carbon footprint of 21% compared to the previous bottle.

“As longtime partners, we are excited to support Danone’s mission to have a positive impact on the environment and our health,” said Juan Cazes, general manager of Amcor Rigid Packaging Argentina. “Over the last two years, we have worked closely to produce a bottle that fully represents the Villavicencio brand, keeping the same visual elements.”

Label-less Villavicencio water bottle from Amcor and Danone is 100% recyclable.

The Villavicencio bottle can be recycled over and over, helping to support a more circular economy. Like this new bottle, many of the containers ARP designs are made from PET, which is easily recycled with mechanical or chemical recycling in most markets, even when that container uses a label. Removing the label, like in the Villavicencio design, provides a greater opportunity to increase yields of recycled PET resin.

Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, home and personal-care and other products, has committed to making all its packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025.

“The alliance with Amcor has allowed us to take another step in our commitment to sustainability, creating a bottle that, in addition to being 100% recyclable, has a lower carbon footprint,” remarked Pablo Colombo, Danone procurement director.

Villavicencio is the only brand of natural mineral water from a protected reserve that, after thousands of years of filtering by nature in the Andes of Mendoza, emerges with 23 minerals.
