Sustainability

Designed to Disappear

Cove water bottles are made of PHA, a plastic alternative made from living organisms that can be found in almost all life on earth: plants, soil, and even our own bodies.

Certified and Tested

All of our materials have been certified fully biodegradable and compostable

Cove is also testing our materials and products to assess real-world performance across a multitude of variables and environments. We will regularly update this page with our findings.

Composting Now and Later

Composting can drastically reduce how much waste ends up in landfills and oceans. At the moment, access to composting is relatively limited across the U.S. While we work towards making composting more accessible, here are some ways to sustainably dispose of Cove Water bottles.

Lomi

Use your Lomi (or other food recycler) to compost your Cove bottles. Follow instructions here.

Cove Pickup

We’ll collect and compost your Cove bottles for you. Schedule a pickup here.

Circularity Made Easy

Currently, the world functions as a “Linear Economy,” taking materials from the earth, making products from them, and throwing those products away. At Cove, we want to help usher in a “Circular Economy.” That means eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and materials, and regenerating nature. Our bottles, made of PHA, satisfy all three of these criteria, and represent a pivotal step toward achieving circularity.
