this is such an awesome idea! i have been guilty of buying products for their cool packaging and if i see this in the store, it'll totally be in my cart!
We won't see these for a while, ours is in plastic bottles ; mineral water ie. and plenty of them and with great designs too. But other than water is in such packaging.
While I do commend them for saving on shipment volume etc, I must point out that the first step in being environmental is to "reduce", with reuse & recycling to follow. So for an actually better environment, we shouldn't be finding something else to consume that we just throw into our less-than-perfect recycling programs, we should be findings things we can cut out of our consumerist ways. No matter what, recycling involves a whole other set of carbon-emitting steps: 1) trucks driving around to collect recyclables 2) shipping the sorted tetrapaks to an out-of-town/state/province/country recycling plant to process them. Has anyone got any idea where tetrapak recycling plants are located? I will bet you they are definitely not local to you.
I think we should be promoting support for city water systems & improving their infrastructure & instilling trust in the citizens to use their tap water. By buying into ANY form of the private water industry, we are supporting the notion that water can be a commercialized product when in fact it is a basic human right that has been stripped from over 2 billion people in the world as a result of privatization.
Today the Western nations are in the middle east fighting for control of their precious oil. Tomorrow it will be the world fighting to catch every drop of rain water.
On a related note, my fiancee is a Jr. Engineer with my county's Waste Management Department; she has seen the water table pollution surveys, and you would be shocked to see the amount of pollution coming from paper recycling facilities.
The process of recycling paper is (currently) quite pollutive, and (according to my fiancee) it is (currently) better for the environment to throw your paper in a landfill.
how about both!
ReplyDeletegreat packaging... but the best water for the earth is robinet one!
ReplyDeleteI think it is great, love the look as well!!

ReplyDeletewater comes from the sky not on the shelf.

ReplyDeleteHow about we make our cities water treatment plants do their job and then we can just grab a cup and use the faucet? That would be much, much better!

Tap water is probably better when it comes to being ecological sensitive. But the design is cool nevertheless.
ReplyDeleteI think the packaging and the concept are great. Boxed water never occured to me, but it's an awesome idea.
ReplyDeleteSuper for school kids too. Just what the pic shows, plant a vine and watch it grow.
ReplyDeleteThat boxed water is soooooo cool!

ReplyDeletebetter for the earth: drink regional waters instead of f. ex french water in the u.s.
ReplyDeletebox or bottle dont make the big difference.
I agree with Anonymous.
