Eco-Friendly and Flavorful
Custom-branded bottles of water have been a tradeshow and event staple for years, and sales of bottled water have quadrupled in the last 20 years. But with more and more companies instituting sustainability policies and other strategies to reduce their carbon footprint, bottled water can send the wrong environmental message. Some cities – including San Francisco, Albuquerque, Minneapolis, and Seattle – have gone so far as to ban city purchase of single-serve bottled water.
The water itself isn’t the problem. Rather, it’s the resources that are required to manufacture and ship the water (sometimes halfway around the world), and the cost of landfilling all the empty bottles. According to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, plastic water bottles produced for U.S. consumption take 1.5 million barrels of oil per year – enough energy to power 250,000 homes or fuel 100,000 cars for a year!
If you are looking for an environmentally-friendly alternative to bottled water, consider a custom-branded flavor pack. They come in a wide variety of flavors so you are sure to please all palates. And if you are still determined to provide event attendees with bottled water, branded flavor packs can also be packaged to hang conveniently from any standard water bottle providing an easy to read message area – the perfect addition to a national sales meeting or for a trade show!
