Seaworthy Sunday: Boxed Water

With the amount of plastic bottles found on the beach and not recycled, it is heartening to hear that one company is doing something about it, buy making water available in boxes or cartons.

Boxed Water Is Better. Better for the planet. Better for all of us. Founded in 2009 on the belief that sustainability matters, providing the purest water in the most sustainable way. They were the first national company to offer a sustainable alternative to plastic water bottles.

At Boxed Water, they approach everything – from design to production to shipping – through a lens of sustainability. Our 8-step water purification process provides a pure pH neutral water with no additional additives. While also sourced as close to the consumer as possible to reduce its carbon footprint. Our paper box is a renewable resource from trees in well-managed forests. 

Beyond our product, Boxed Water is committed to helping the planet by cleaning up beaches, planting trees, and more. They are member of 1% For The Planet in partnership with the National Forest Foundation as well as Ocean Blue Project, leveraging their commitment and their passions. Through its Better for our Planet project, Boxed Water has already planted over 612,000 trees in national forests.
