This $11 billion business actually declined slightly in<br \/>\n2009 and there was a flurry of activity among traditional beverage<br \/>\ncompanies to try and adapt. PepsiCo introduced Eco-Fina with 50<br \/>\npercent less plastic. Coke introduced a &#8220;plant bottle&#8221; which actually<br \/>\nstill contains 80% plastic from crude oil and Nestle introduced<br \/>\nRe-source made from 25% recycled plastic. The reality is that plastic<br \/>\nis still derived from crude oil and takes up to 1000 years to break<br \/>\ndown naturally.<\/p>\n<p>Other brands like &#8216;re:newal premium spring water&#8217; are taking a<br \/>\ncompletely different approach to change the business but introducing a<br \/>\nplant bottle made entirely from corn. The resin (known as PLA) is made<br \/>\ncompletely from plants and can be returned to the earth in its natural<br \/>\nstate. re:newal is one of a small group of companies using this<br \/>\nmaterial and re:newal is unique in combing natural spring water with a<br \/>\n100% biodegradable bottle and label.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\nThe only unfortunate thing about this bottled water (besides being bottled water) is that the facility is located in Florida.  In an ideal world, the few times we find we need bottled water, we would have options to purchase petroleum-free plastic bottles holding locally sourced water.  The transportation of water across the country certainly bears a heavy carbon footprint and must be considered. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I was sent free samples of these products to review.
