Obviously we have a delusional eco-nerd on our hands here.
People get thirsty - we need to drink water to stay alive. If your out of your house (obviously you don't get out much) tap and especially rain water won't save you from thirst.
Right now corporate giants sell ready and willing consumers treated water in poisonous plastic bottles. Once discarded the majority of these fossil fuel based bottles end up in the landfill. The rest get shipped off to some third world country to be burned or buried. The sad truth is barely any sorted plastic bound for recycling actually gets there.
Suckling the corporate teat will not save you either as we send huge profits overseas, generated by drinking our own water.
Our PLA is produced from byproduct of the US corn industry and soon, will be produced in Asia from Forestry waste. It leaves the factory in the US largely carbon neutral. It is non toxic and contains no fossil fuels. It can be composted in a commercial compost in 3 days - to soil - at approx 75 degrees Celsius. We import raw material which is very effective to ship in pellet form and blow bottles using a NZ company. We use labels made from the same material also through local companies.
Do your research, and learn what GreenWash means. We produce the most eco friendly drink product on the market in NZ. Hands Down. It is even recyclable here. When sales increase and bottles are sorted and recycled on a large scale this could be the first Carbon Sink company in NZ.
Know what that means?
See our website and feel free to contact me directly for any questions. Love your work.

What a load of "greenwash".
Why the heck do we NEED this product? I would be interested to know the manufacturing process required to make the bottles, the plants used and the growing process (not organic I bet). Not to mention all the unnecessary freight.
This product would be NOWHERE NEAR carbon neutral.
Drink tap or rain water. Don't kid yourselves.
