schools & education
Every school day, millions of students carry a Lunchbox Bottle, often a single-use plastic water bottle or juice box, tucked beside their sandwiches and snacks.

School lunch routines generate surprising amounts of plastic and packaging waste. Disposable bottles, juice boxes and single-use containers pile up in cafeterias and playgrounds, contributing to:
The Why
US public schools alone generate over 14,500 tons of solid waste daily, with a large portion coming from food and beverage packaging. Switching to reusable bottles and filtered water can drastically reduce this footprint.

Reusable bottles and filtered water systems save schools and families money over time by reducing the need for constant purchases of disposable drinks.
