First Choice introduces water with a conscious
Low carbon footprint, recyclability and renewability have become buzz words in various industries especially the food and beverage industries in terms of packaging. With the growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly product packaging, Woodlands Dairy, situated in Humansdorp, realised the importance of bringing its consumers packaging that is guilt free by being environmentally friendly.
First Choice has been known for their efforts at environmental conservation in all aspects of their business, but until now no company in South Africa has used a carton as a water container. The packaging, which is made by Elopak, is based on renewable resources from natural forests while the prepared water is produced using reverse osmosis technology. The result is purified water with a great taste. Because the cartons are mainly made from paper, which is made from trees in well-managed forests, the packaging actually aids the environment.
Woodland’s Dairy used the Elopak carton due to its favourable CO2 footprint compared to other commonly used packaging media. This specific carton is one of the most environmentally-friendly packaging alternatives on the market as it comes from a renewable source, is recyclable, and has a carbon footprint of up to three times better than a plastic bottle. First Choice Still Water is available in a 2 litre carton.
With First Choice Still Water you can enjoy drinking water without a drop of guilt.
