Plastic packaging is beginning to be more harshly scrutinized for its effects on the environment, which is bolstering interest in more eco-friendly packaging options as seen with products like RightWater. The plastic-free prepackaged water is achieved using 100% recyclable aluminum cans that are also free from BPA to make them suitable for consumers who might be weary about unwarned ingredients in their water.
The water is sourced from protected natural springs located in California and packaged in-state before being inspected by hand before leaving the factory. The product is also packaged using biodegradable pallet wraps and boxes to further reinforce the plastic-free packaging ethos. The RightWater brand is part of the Zero Plastic Movement that was founded by Simon Konecki.
