This is an Unbottle: A Story of Sustainability, One Bottle at a Time

This is an Unbottle: A Story of Sustainability, One Bottle at a Time

It all started with a walk on a beach in Goa.

Aishvarya watched the ocean spit out more plastic than waves, a heartbreaking sight that made her stop in her tracks. With two kids by her side, she thought, “I can’t be the only one who feels this way!” That moment sparked a mission—one that led to the creation of Unbottle, a 100% recycled and recyclable plastic bottle, designed to break the vicious cycle of waste.

9 Months, Endless Trials, One Sustainable Solution

Developing the Unbottle wasn’t easy. It took 9 months of research, innovation, and sheer determination to get it right. But today, each Unbottle proudly carries an embossed statement:

“This is an Unbottle.”

It’s more than packaging—it’s a promise. A promise that every time you pick up a Tuco Kids product, you’re making an active choice to reduce plastic waste.

Recycling Isn’t Just a Trend, It’s a Responsibility

Here’s how the magic happens:

  1. Used plastic bottles are collected through a network of recycling partners.
  2. They are stripped of labels, thoroughly washed, and broken down into tiny pellets.
  3. These pellets are then remanufactured into new Unbottles—no virgin plastic, no unnecessary waste.
  4. The cycle continues.

That means each time you use an Unbottle, you’re helping to keep plastic out of landfills, oceans, and the environment.

Glass vs. Plastic: The Truth About "Sustainable" Packaging

Switching to glass might seem like the ultimate eco-friendly move, but is it really?

Think about it: the carbon footprint of transporting glass jars is astronomical. Glass is heavier, requires more fuel to ship, and breaks easily, leading to more waste.

Plastic isn’t the villain—single-use plastic is. Recycled and recyclable plastic, like our Unbottle, is a practical, scalable, and truly sustainable solution.

Small Actions, Big Impact

At Tuco Kids, we believe that small actions, multiplied by millions of people, can make a real difference. Every Unbottle sold is a step toward a cleaner planet.

So next time you hold one in your hands, remember: this isn’t just a bottle. This is an Unbottle.
