I wonder if the entire box can be recycled, composted or will it biodegrade? Paper doesn't biodegrade very fast in our "Dry Tomb" landfills. There isn't any oxygen in the deep layers of our trash and things don't go away...that includes paper, food, etc. Also, for those of you how live in places that have good, clean municipal water....you are lucky. Most cities put a lot of chemicals in the water to keep it sanitary, and it isn't safe to drink. Most countries don’t have access to safe water, especially during the disasters many are experiencing.__We have taken another approach here at Enso Bottles, biodegradable plastic bottles. Yep, they break down in a landfill even if there isn't any oxygen. There isn't any one perfect answer but se are making a difference on step at a time.____Max__Ensobottles.com__ Wed, 1 Apr 2009 21:38:13 +0000 http://handsin.org/daily-discussion-is-boxed-water-the-answer/#IDComment17931913 http://www.2news.tv/news/39847922.html#IDComment15543857 That's fantastic! Using non food plants to generate energy is the future. Using food crops to produce fuels that aren't efficient and reduces food supplies will be better served by algae. We feel that non-food crops such as algae will play an important roll in in developing other sustainable products....like plastic. Plastic bottles are a growing problem in our landfills and oceans. We felt that something needed to be done……and now. We knew that there wasn’t going to be one “fix it all” answer and began to wonder if anything was ever going to be done. The problem was growing every day, more bottles were being manufactured and more bottles were accumulating in places where we didn’t need them. We were wondering if “Earth Friendly Bottles” would ever be available? That’s why decided to do our part and started ENSO Bottles. We are partnering with other companies to offer a PET plastic bottle that will biodegrade, compost or recycle.
