Welcome.
Everybody wants to make a difference…Now you can. BIOTA is a PLAnet Friendly company. BIOTA Spring Water is the World's first bottled water/beverage packaged in a commercially compostable plastic bottle. Our bottle is manufactured from a 100% renewable resource, corn. Together, we can make a difference. One bottle at a time.

We're making the news... The Sun-Sentinel in South Florida posted this story on January 30th by their reporter Jaclyn Giovis:

Something corny...
Something corny is in the waterSouth Florida's Publix grocery stores are selling Colorado natural spring water that comes in a container made of corn. Well, sort of.BIOTA Brands of America Inc., based in Telluride, Colo., has bottled its water in a 100 percent biodegradable plastic container that is made from corn instead of oil, so it burns clean and does not release harmful chemicals into the air. Initial testing has demonstrated that a BIOTA water bottle should degrade in about 80 days. Petroleum-based plastic beverage bottles, according to many assessments, take 1,000 years or more to break down. BIOTA, an acronym for "Blame it on the altitude," originates from the highest, protected natural alpine spring in the world, located at the heart of the Rocky Mountains, according to the company. Snowmelt water is filtered more than 100 years through 13,000-foot peaks from its source 9,010 above sea level.
