How to dispose
Our Green-Bottle can be recycled, composted or thermally utilized. The most advantageous method so far has been thermal recycling, i.e. disposal via residual waste, since energy can still be generated during recycling.
Composting is possible in some countries, but incineration is preferable. During composting, the energy is lost as heat.
