Anne Hathaway's uninhibited "carton" was originally an environmentally friendly water bottle that was hot in Europe and the United States.

[China Packaging Network News] I heard that there was a section of the "paper box" red on the ins for a long time. Every big-name influx of people must go out.

After reading it, I can not help but sigh, "Original big names love to drink milk!!"

"No! They don't drink milk, it's water! Tap water!!"

The bottle design called Boxed Water, from the shape to the color, how to look like a can of milk, but it is so long for environmental protection.

Each box is recyclable, 100% BPA.

“Bottles instead of plastic bottles” was changed because people are already very accustomed to buying plastic bottles of water or beverages, and the accompanying plastic waste situation is quite serious. The recycling rate of traditional PET plastic bottles is only 10%. If a family spends five plastic bottles a day, that city's daily consumption of plastic bottles is enormous.

Looking at a set of data and comprehensively investigating energy consumption in several countries, we found that a plastic water bottle costs 39%, 0.3%, and 60.7% of energy, respectively, from production, packaging, and transportation (where “energy” represents 10.2. MJ per liter).

It can be seen that the environmental damage caused by the addition of numerous small plastic bottles is amazing.

Boxed Water designer Benjamin Gott believes that the recycling of “water containers” is an important part of environmental protection. Although his original ideas were to facilitate water transportation and canning, the environmental protection and recycling considerations also made Boxed Water a reality. It has become a favorite green lifestyle for the influx of people. This is also the selling point that everyone really respects this design.

At the same time, the company claims to cooperate with the National Forest Foundation to invest at least 1% of annual sales in afforestation. They also promised to grow 1 million trees by 2020.

Up to now, 538,156 trees have been planted!

There are plenty of green designs like Boxed Water on the supermarket shelves. Here are a few of them, maybe you have drunk.

I LOHAS "A Twistable Bottle"

The mineral water I LOHAS launched by the Coca-Cola Company of Japan in 2009 is a PET bottle with a capacity of 500 ml and a weight of only 12 grams. It is necessary to know that the same bottle of mineral water had a weight of 32 grams, about 3 times the weight of I LOHAS.

In order to prevent global warming and reduce energy consumption, Japan Coca-Cola has promoted the lightweighting of beverage bottles, and the amount of resin used has been reduced by about 40%. When you twist the bottle cap, you can clearly feel its “slimming effect” while drinking. After the plastic bottle can also be easily twisted flat, reducing the size.

First, the Japanese Coca-Cola Company achieved a second energy saving by realizing the lightweight of the bottle body; secondly, the bottle that could be screwed in also saved a lot of space; and most importantly, this creative design also guided the consumers' environmental protection concept and behavior. From the perspective of its popularity (only 97 days after its listing in May 2009), we know that everyone can't wait to do something about environmental protection.

50 ILOHAS empty bottles that were discarded directly, filled with recycling bins; right: 50 empty bottles that were flattened accounted for only 1/3 of the capacity of the recycling bins.

Aershan hand-written bottle label, "Drink half a bottle of water, save a plastic bottle."

Maybe you have already seen the winner of the 2015 Effie Award winner of the brand public interest - the handwritten bottle label of the Aershan Mineral Water! This genius design only uses the "scratch card" principle to solve the big problem of wasting mineral water.

Everyone of us encountered this kind of situation: meetings, events, games, and outings with friends. When people are old, they cannot find their own mineral water bottle. "Where is my water?" Did you drink half of it?" "Forget it, then reopen it again."

“China has a population of 1.3 billion, but the per capita water resources are only one-fourth of the world average, and the only one-fourth of this is also often wasted.” Think about the end of a concert and leave behind the stands. Mineral water and empty bottles.

In order to effectively reduce this unnecessary waste, Aershan collaborated with designer Long Jieqi to bring a hand-written bottle labeling solution. On the basis of the original bottle label, add a special ink coating to the scratch card. Just paint it with your fingernails, and the name, figure, and expression will follow your mood. You can turn this bottle of mineral water into its own exclusive, never again. Worry about getting a bottle of water.

Such design ideas have also been used in large-scale conference activities. For example, at the two sessions last year, there was a small bottled (300mm) + real-name mineral water, labelled to avoid waste.

"Paper Water Bottle" can "return to life"

The previously reported "paper bottle" hopes to use "paper" to replace the existing plastic bottled water and reduce the amount of "disposable plastic waste."

This design differs from what we have seen in the "drinking paper cups" and "bento cartons". It uses natural beeswax instead of polyethylene (PE) laminating film to provide paper with water and oil repellency.

American designer Luigi Rausch is not only trying to use paper to rescue the pollution caused by disposable plastic waste. He also thought of an interesting way to recycle the paper water bottle: each bottle is a retractable post-squeeze. On the postcard, Luigi Rausch printed the address on the back of the book, hoping people could “send it home” after using it, and then they could be “pressed back to life” through heat stress.

From these water bottle designs for saving water resources and reducing disposable plastic waste, enough to realize the heavy reliance on plastic bottles and the impact it brings to the environment, many people will be curious to drink mineral water bottles that have been thrown into the trash and then go Where? In a corner of the world? Or silently changed appearance? It turns out that in the bottle recycling process, the bottle cap, the cup, the bottle and the bottle body are separated first by removing the standard, crushing, and cleaning, and then the bottle body (ie, PET, the Chinese name is poly-p-phenylene) is recycled. Dicarboxylic acid plastics, which are the materials used in most plastic bottles, will be cleaned, dehydrated and sold to chemical fiber factories for drawing. PET has also become a stuffing cotton for toys or become The main raw materials and accessories for fabrics and textiles. However, be aware that the recycling rate of traditional PET bottles is only 10%.

The situation of plastic pollution is severe. Different regions have also seen various anti-bottled water campaigns: In March 2012, more than 90 schools in the United States, including prominent universities such as Brown University and Harvard University, jointly proposed a ban on sales or restrictions. Use plastic bottled water. In 2013, the town of Concord, Massachusetts, passed a ban prohibiting the sale of bottled mineral water for one person only.

In the natural world, everything is nutrients, no waste, and human society is different, but every point of trying to accumulate is also a great improvement. How did you feel about the environmental revolution of these mineral water bottles?
