Let's talk environment ♻️ ⁠
⁠
As an eco-conscious brand, we’re continuously discovering new ways to care for our environment, in all that we do. That’s why we’ve switched things up at TRACE and replaced our original black bottled water with a new sleek 100% aluminum can. ⁠
⁠
WHY? I hear you ask. 😎⁠
⁠
Well, let’s just allow these hard facts to speak for themselves:⁠
⁠
😔 Almost 300 million tonnes of plastic wastes are produced every year ⁠
😔 Plastic waste has an annual growth rate of 9% ⁠
😔 The US is the world’s top generator of plastic waste⁠
😔 Around 70,000 microplastics are consumed by an average person each year⁠
😔 1 million marine animals die due to plastic pollution every year.⁠
😔 75% of all plastic produced has become waste⁠
😔 It takes around 500-1,000 years for plastics to decompose⁠
😔 73% of all litter on beaches worldwide is plastic⁠
😔 About 91% of plastic is not recycled⁠
⁠
So, why choose aluminum?⁠
⁠
Well, for a start it’s the leanest and greenest material on the planet! 🌍 ⁠
⁠
TRACE water cans can be infinitely recycled and that can you have in your hand may even end up as a laptop or airplane part. Pretty cool, right? ⁠
⁠
Americans throw away more than $700 million worth of aluminum cans every year, and almost 75% of aluminum is still in use today.⁠
⁠
FUN FACT: Every minute an average of 123,097 aluminum cans is recycled in the US alone. ⁠
⁠
Do your bit for the environment and drink TRACE canned water 😉⁠
