RAIN Water Company introduces spring water in recyclable aluminium bottles

RAIN Water Company has announced the launch of mountain spring water in recyclable aluminium bottles to minimize plastic bottle waste.

“Consumers have long been told that plastic packaging is okay, provided that it is recycled. With plastic recycling rates not breaking single digits, it is quite difficult to think that this act can help reduce plastic waste. Aluminum is one of the most recyclable materials on the planet and reused repeatedly. Aluminum bottles, when recycled, will be back on the shelf or made into a pick-up truck like an F150 within 60 days - the opportunities are endless,” said the representative at RAIN Water Company.

RAIN Water Company operates its bottling facilities and on site source of spring water. They veer away from outsourcing production. The company ensures its customers’ safety before packing the water into recyclable aluminium bottles.

Aluminium gets recycled at least 67% of the time. Single-use plastics are recycled less than 10% of the time. Aluminium also maintains its integrity when melted for an infinite number of times. Recycled plastic must be mixed with new plastic to make bottles. This scenario means more oil is needed, leading to more waste. It is estimated that over 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today, according to the company.

Spring water cools in just 20 minutes in aluminium body while plastic takes about two hours for water in cool in a plastic bottle.
