Okay. So Plastic Sucks...

BUT WHY IS OPEN WATER

THE BEST?

Open Water aluminum bottles being filled and capped

The highest closed loop recycling rate

This is a measure of whether or not recycled beverage packaging goes back into making new beverage packaging. On average 92.6% of recycled aluminum can material is made back into an aluminum can.

Made of recycled material

Open Water uses an average of 73% recycled aluminum in every bottle and can—that means it’s been used at least once before. Other beverage packaging (including some other aluminum brands) use zero or very little recycled content.

Infinitely recyclable

Aluminum can be recycled over and over and over again without losing quality or volume—it’s perfectly efficient, unlike plastic and cartons which aren’t truly recycled: they’re really ‘downcycled’.
