Just saw this. Water coming in cardboard containers!

[Maraya1969]

I've never seen this before. Apparently it is sustainable because for every 3 trees that are cut they plant 4 new ones and the packaging is 100% recyclable.

(I wish there was a way we could post pictures without having to load them first in a photo storage place. Like Facebook and Twitter now you just have to copy and paste them. I'm also writing this as a suggestion )

I am not in any way connected to this product.

EDIT: Sorry. Had I looked before I would have realized they only deliver to African nations.

2. Well one quick search there are plenty! Also milk, orange juice etc. Why isn't all of our

water in cartons now?

19. "It's a little more expensive...."

It works out to $1.80 for a pint of still water.

4. You beat me to it. That's how I buy my wine. It's a lot easier to recycly than bottles and I've

NEVER had a box leak or break, and I've been buying this packaged wine for 20 years. Gee, I can't believe it's been around that long!

[Maraya1969]

7. If you find a decent price please post it. The only problem I am seeing is it is way

expensive. I didn't realize there was an $18 shipping fee on the Walmart ones and at Amazon they are way too high.

I think it would be a great thing for one of our Dem reps to start looking into this thing to try and wean the public off of its plastic addiction. There is really no reason for the high prices except being a new industry and/or price gouging.

I don't buy plastic water much. I keep refilling the ones I have and I have some bottled that are made to keep.

8. Yeah!!! Thank you!

[sprinkleeninow]

12. Yah, thx! Gonna look into this.

I buy soup in boxes. And always milk and o.j. and other juices and iced tea in cartons. 👍

I found processed/cooked pinto beans in a bag. No can!

Only these are more expensive.

[Maraya1969]

5. Well Duh. Walmart sells the stuff! $30.86 per case of 24

6. There's another boxed product that I love. Tomatoes. I just bought a case last week. The box

contains 16oz. I think and you csn get whole, diced, crushed, & pureed. They're the great San Marzano tomatoes and make terrific sauce or whatever you're making using tomatoes. It's also very easy to store. Takes a lot less room than cans.

[Maraya1969]

9. Thanks for this idea! I think I am going to look for boxed goods from now on.

[napi21]

10. FWIW I by my tomatoes on Amazon. I'm a Prime subscriber so shipping was free. I can't find them

in the local supermarkets here in Ga. Bought them in markets when I lived in TX.

[sprinkleeninow]

13. Yes! 👍

14. um, if you are really interesed in sustainability

how about drinking the water you get from your faucet for almost free?

[Maraya1969]

17. Actually that's pretty much what I do. Sometimes I post just

To get an idea out.

I would try the stuff though if it weren't so expensive

[IcyPeas]

15. They do sell it here . It's called boxed water.

16. Cardboard + plastic + aluminum

They say that the inside of the boxes has layers of polyethylene and aluminium foil. It's not clear to me whether the layers are bonded or not.

How are they recycled? My recycling center will take cardboard, aluminum, and many type of plastic, but I don't think they'll take them if they're layered together in one product.

At least the wine boxes have easily separated plastic bag + cardboard box.

18. Why not? Hope it can replace plastic bottles.
