Sustainability

While there is a very real cost of purchasing a bottle of water on the go, there are also invisible costs that most of us are not aware of.

A one time spending of $1, $2 or even $3 dollars might not seem like much when you are thirsty and need to rehydrate, but it is an eye opening experience to learn the real costs behind that bottle you just purchased.

A single bottle of water can cost anywhere between $1- $6 1.5 million barrels of oil, enough to run 100,000 cars, are used to make plastic water bottles each year  It requires 7 times as much water to make the bottle as it does to fill it Massive amounts of greenhouse gases are produced from manufacturing plastic bottles 60 Million plastic water bottles are disposed of in the US alone every day

Every day we are throwing millions of plastic water bottles into the dump, 60 million in the US alone. Americans spend about $15 billion dollars on bottled water a year, in other words, the average American uses 167 single-use plastic water bottles each year. It's not hard to figure out that the market is in need of rapid change; if not for cost, for environmental reasons.

Everywhere we go, there is talk about the problems associated with plastic waste, but there are very few companies out there who are bringing forward solutions- especially in the single-serve water market.

pura vida h2o aligns itself with the "problem solvers" to this worldwide issue. In the US, people have begun the slow but drastic behavioral change that needs to occur to address this problem. We have seen shoppers move away from plastic grocery bags to reusable bags and drivers who are choosing more energy efficient vehicles that reduce their gas dependence thus saving the environment and money.

As a country engaged in our children's future, we have to carry this change throughout our lives, minimizing packaging and reusing containers in all aspects of our daily routine.

pura vida h2o's mission is to provide a vehicle for this behavioral change. We bring the convenience of a trusted water source, delivered in a hygienic way so that people can carry on with their lives while committing to reduce their footprint. Our water refill stations offer the convenience of refilling single serve containers easily and cost efficiently with pure chilled water.
