Why Aluminum?

Benefits of Aluminum Bottled Water

RAIN Pure Mountain Spring Water has made it our mission to help end our unnecessary and harmful dependence on single-use plastics. Understanding the convenience of bottled water; RAIN provides a sustainable aluminum packaging option that’s Better For You and Better For The Planet. With 1 million plastic bottles being used every minute, we know we need a lasting alternative now.

ALUMINUM vs PLASTIC

  • RECYCLED 70%+

    Aluminum has inherent cash value, meaning it actually gets recycled. “Recyclable”=/=”Recycled”

  • RECYLED 6% OF THE TIME

    Single use plastics, like those in bottled water, are only recycled ~6% of the time, and made from only 3% recycled material

  • INFINITELY RECYCLABLE

    Aluminum maintains its quality when recycled. Bottle after bottle after bottle…

  • DOWNCYCLED ONLY

    Recycled plastic must be mixed with virgin plastic to make bottles. That means more oil and a polluted planet

  • COOLS IN 20 MINUTES

    Cold water, fast

  • COOLS IN 2 HOURS

    Heres some science: plastic is less thermally conductive than aluminum. That means it takes forever to get cold

ALUMINUM vs CARTON

  • ALL ALUMINUM

    Made of all aluminum, not plastic or layers of plastic

  • “BOXES” ARE NOT PAPER

    “Carton” or “Boxes” are not what you think. These are manufactured by Tetrapak, Elopak, etc and made from layers of plastic, paper, and aluminum

  • EASY TO RECYCLE

    Can easily be sorted, melted and made into something new at recycling centers. Back on the shelf as something else within 60 days!

  • DIFFICULT TO RECYCLE

    Multiple layers need to be de-laminated to recycle. More often than not boxes are landfilled. Recycled at around 16%.

  • 100% POST CONSUMER

    Made from up to 100% Post Consumer waste. Very little virgin aluminum is mined for the production of aluminum bottles

  • 5% POST CONSUMER

    The majority of the materials in cartons are virgin

  • CONVENIENT SHAPE

    Goes in a cup holder, backpack and on a bike ride. Round bottle, round hole

  • SQUARE PEG, ROUND HOLE

    Our lives have been designed for round bottles. Try putting a square box in the round bottle cage on your bike, then let us know how it goes

ALUMINUM vs GLASS

  • LIGHTWEIGHT

    Only 14g per bottle!

  • HEAVY

    Glass bottles are heavy, about 10X the weight of the equivalent aluminum bottle. That's more fuel to ship both empty or filled

  • TAKE ME EVERYWHERE

    Aluminum is ready to go where you are. No glass shards here

  • OUCH!

    Broken glass sucks. It's not going to the beach, the pool, on a hike etc
