Member in the Spotlight - AQUAPAX
Just Drinking Water Ltd launched their award winning AQUAPAX water cartons 15 years ago, coining the phrase ‘ditch the plastic’ before many consumers were conscious of any single-use plastic problem. AQUAPAX carton solutions originally had an extremely thin metalized-print finish, to reflect light and keep their water cooler without refrigeration, along with a conventional plastic cap closure, as research had shown consumers valued being able to reseal any portable beverage.
Motivated by one of their founding principles of being ‘a pure thirst for the environment’ Aquapax have relentlessly evolved their cartons year on year, to the point where their range of package sizes now have >75% renewable (plant based) content, including bio-polymer cap openers, made from sugar cane. Never one to rest on their laurels the company already has a roadmap towards wholly renewable cartons, as technology catches up with their ambitions to ‘ditch the plastic’ altogether.
