    Evian partnered with Loop Industries to develop a prototype bottle made entirely from recycled PET
    .
    The bottle, called the Evian Loop, will launch on a commercial scale in South Korea in 2022

    .
    In a press release, Evian said the bottle will be introduced to other markets someday

    .

    Evian Loop bottles are made from virtually worthless plastic waste that is broken down into its constituent monomers, purified and repolymerized into Loop PET plastic
    .
    Loop Industries has reportedly developed technology to endlessly recycle all kinds of PET plastic waste, from gym bags to flip-flops, as well as marine, colored and opaque plastics

    .

    Loop Industries received some scrutiny last year
    .
    In October 2020, Hindenburg Research, a self-described "forensic finance research" firm, challenged some of Loop Industries' claims

    .
    In particular, Hindenburg Research noted that the company was characterized by "smog and no viable technology," according to disclosures by former employees

    .

    Evian, who has been with Loop Industries for four years, is clearly not among the skeptics
    .
    The company added that the Evian Loop milestone will bring it one step closer to its circular goal of 2025, when it pledges to make all of its plastic bottles from 100 percent recycled plastic, with the exception of caps and labels
