Boxed Water is Better



www.boxedwaterisbetter.com

First off, why 'Boxed Water'?

We feel that sustainability and giving back is important. We wanted to start a new water company that has sustainable packaging, gives back to foundations that we feel are important, and has a lower carbon footprint than today's tradiontal bottled water.


When is Boxed Water going to be available in my area?

Thanks for your interest! We're currently working on US and international distribution that will allow us to be in a number of both small and large retailers in all areas. Please stay tuned to our Where to Find Us section.


How long has Boxed Water been around?

Boxed Water was publicly launched on Friday, March 13th, 2009 at our favorite place to grab lunch, the Grand Central Market in downtown Grand Rapids. The idea of Boxed Water was born in April of 2008.


What type of water is Boxed Water?

Boxed Water is carbon-filtered, purified water from Minnesota and it tastes like...water - simple and refreshing.


Where is Boxed Water from?

Boxed Water Is Better, LLC is a Grand Rapids, Michigan based company (we love it here).


I see that you're part philanthropic project, where does the money go to?

We're still figuring out which foundations we'll be donating to, but we've committed 10% of the profits will be going to water foundations, and another 10% of our profits will be going to forestation foundations. Please stay tuned to our site as we'll be updating where our donations will be landing after we reach profitablity.


Did you know tap water is better for the earth when compared to your packaged water?

Yes. Our goal has two parts: First, create a product for a growing market (bottled water) that lessens the environmental impact and gives back a bit - which simply makes us 'better' as we say, and a step in the right direction. Second, Boxed Water Is Better is an ever growing and adapting project. R&D is core to everything we do and we've committed to constantly exploring new technology to lessen the impact of the portable water market while always giving back.
