Why is an ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water carton considered an “environmentally responsible” package?
“Environmental responsibility” in terms of packaging is the result of many factors, not just recyclability. ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water cartons are recyclable but they also are made from a renewable resource (trees), not from oil based PET. Furthermore, the wood used to make ECO-Choice cartons is harvested from managed forest which means that for each tree that is harvested to make the paperboard material, two or more trees are planted. ECO-Choice cartons are produced in locations which utilize very efficient electrical grids where the electricity is generated by “wind energy” not oil or coal. In fact, ECO-Choice cartons can boast a zero-carbon footprint as they leave the shipping dock at the site at which they are produced. Finally, because of their light weight and brick shape design, ECO-Choice cartons utilize less energy than PET bottles when transported and stored in retailer warehouses.
