Green Sheep Water is launching in infinitely recyclable, 16oz aluminium bottles made by Ball Corporation, instead of the usual plastic, glass or carton packaging.
“Studies show that Americans use about 1,500 plastic water bottles every second, and only about 30% of those bottles are recycled – the rest end up in landfills and oceans,” explained Jess Page, co-founder of Green Sheep Water.
“While reusable water bottles are optimal for the environment, they are not always practical in our consumers’ busy lives. We chose Ball’s Alumi-Tek bottle because it is a high quality package that is reclosable, portable and part of the most recycled beverage packaging in the world – beverage cans.”
“After nearly three years of working together to create the right package, we are excited that Green Sheep is launching its water in Alumi-Tek bottles, which are 100% recyclable, chill faster and are reclosable,” said Bruce Doelling, vice president, sales, for Ball’s metal beverage packaging division, Americas.
“With sustainability at the core of the Green Sheep brand, the new bottles also have a premium look without the need for a wraparound label.”
Green Sheep Water was started by cofounders Jess Page and Nicole Doucet as a bottled water company with an environmental focus. Inspired by a documentary that highlighted environmental challenges posed by plastic bottles, they found that aluminum bottles are a more environmentally friendly option.
