Founder Benjamin Gott had the simple idea for a new type of packaged water. The mission was to fulfill the need for packaged water in a more environmentally-friendly way that allows us to give back. That led to the birth of Boxed Water!
Boxed Water’s cartons are the most sustainable on the market at 92% plant-based and are recyclable in many areas, with a plant-based cap made from the tree pulp waste of sustainably harvested Nordic pine trees and not sugarcane. According to independent life cycle analyses, they also has a 36% lower carbon footprint and 43% less fossil fuel use than their plastic counterparts.
Whats’ inside
Boxed Water’s 100% pure water goes through a proprietary multi-step purification process that includes reverse osmosis, carbon filtration, UV light and ozonation. Impurities are removed, which gives it a clean, crisp taste. The water is also as pH neutral and free from chromium, MTBE, chlorine, fluoride and trace pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, Boxed Water is sourced in the western and eastern part of the United States and packaged as close to the consumer as possible to keep the travel footprint small.
All the cartons source paper from trees in well-managed forests – where new trees are continuously planted to replace the ones harvested – and are shipped flat to reduce the number of trucks required for transportation. They also fills water close to the source and the consumer to reduce its carbon footprint, and all cartons are 100% recyclable, refillable, and BPA free. Now it is available in Fruit Flavours like Blackberry, Lemon, Grapefruit and Cucumber.
According to a study, Boxed water has a lower impact in every category compared to plastic and a lower total environment profile than aluminum cans.
Boxed Water is a proud member of 1% For The Planet and partner of the National Forest Foundation and Ocean Blue Project. The simple act of choosing Boxed Water is a statement that sustainability matters. Boxed Water is headquartered in Holland, Michigan with filling locations in Michigan and Utah.
