Bottled water companies respond with "Eco-Shape" bottles
Well, you didn't think that the the bottled water companies were going to ignore all of the bad publicity about bottled water and the earth did you? Of course not!So what's popped up all over? "Eco-Shape" bottles of water. Here's one from Deer Park. It's made with 30% less plastic, has a label that is 30% smaller, is 100% recyclable and is more flexible (no doubt due to the fact that it's made with less plastic), and is easier to crush for recycling.
Poland Spring is also selling water in the Eco-Shape one-use bottle.
Sounds like a win-win for the water companies. The companies get to make bottles that are probably cheaper to transport, while marketing them with a nice "Eco" label. It's possible that they are better for the environment than the old bottles, but the best bottled water is still no bottled water. Treat yourself to a reusable bottle like Sigg or Kleen Kanteen instead.
