Alternative Water Packaging: Juicebox? Milk? No…Water

Really?  I don’t know why I’m surprised, but really?  I’m sure it really is better for the earth.  GOOD Magazine Blog had this posted and someone at work passed it around.  Why not just get water out of a tap and if you’re paranoid, filter it.  Crazy idea, I know.  I’m sure this packaging is less resource intensive and can use recycled materials.  From the looks of the image, though, it looks like a TetraPak – which isn’t that easy to recycle in most municipalities.  Also – it doesn’t fit a cup holder.  It would be pretty phat to be allowed to drink out of the carton – but you’d be expecting milk or OJ and get water. 

I gots me head to thinking…who else is making alternative packaging for water…

Kids won’t drink water? Put it in a juice box, perhaps. You could even flavor it with apple or whatever. Thus we have Wateroos.

OR

and finally a TetraPak water pak – packaged much like some energy drinks.  We have Plant It Water that will plant a tree for every carton made.
