![]() To achieve peak deliciousness, we start with uniquely fragrant and tasty, organic, young Nam Hom coconuts grown in Thailand. And now, as part of our commitment to doing less harm, more good, we are thrilled to say our bottles are made from100% rPET (excluding the cap and label). A totally tossable gym bag addition for pre or post-workout hydration, or even to sip in between sets!Īfter many years of refining (our process-never the product) we perfected our method to bottle this organic coconutty goodness. It’s easy to grab the morning after a wild night when you’re in desperate need of a refresh. ![]() That’s why we made it our mission to bring delicious Fair Trade, and certified organic coconut water directly to you in our highly portable bottles. (Have you ever tried to crack one open in a locker room?) And when you have a head-pounding hangover, the last thing you want is to bang on a coconut to release that sweet electrolyte-replenishing elixir. But as you can imagine, lugging around a fresh coconut every day isn’t exactly convenient. We will continue to evaluate our options annually, remain transparent with our consumers, and view this as an ongoing dialogue as a way for us to keep getting better.It all began with our love of coconut water and the belief that it never tastes better than when it’s pure, fresh, and straight from the source. Personally, I’m committed to continuous improvement and evaluating new materials at every step of our journey. Stay tuned.Īll that said, we will continue to search for opportunities to improve. ![]() We’re thrilled to let you know that we are working toward transitioning to cardboard case packaging made from recycled materials in the very near future. If you prefer to shop for our coconut water at Costco, you’ve probably noticed our cases are wrapped in plastic there. ![]() The goal is to implement this change in 2022! However, we have been working closely with our supplier to develop a label with washable water-soluble inks that would allow the label to be included in recycling. Presently, the sh r ink wrap labels on our bottles are *not* recyclable (that’s why we say tear & toss the label, recycle the rest!). Plus, our proprietary multi-step micro-filtration system is simply incompatible with these packaging types. What about aluminum cans, or glass bottles? These packaging options were easily ruled out given the high consumption of energy in fabrication and carbon impact during transportation. paper-based) were technically not feasible given our products. And, currently only a very small minority of municipalities (2-3%) can actually compost it. Regarding bio plastic, it turns out that it is easily confused with regular plastic (admittedly, I can’t visually tell the difference) and ends up in the traditional recycling stream, which makes recycling it not possible. It has the lowest impact in fabrication and distribution AND diverts plastic from landfills and waterways – THE issue people have with plastic. What we learned is that – given current recycling/composting systems – 100% recycled PET plastic (rPET) is the best option. After meeting with numerous experts and reading plenty of scientific studies, it became clear that despite how good this option sounded, it was not the best. So, you’re probably wondering why does Harmless Harvest use plastic bottles? I mean, isn’t plastic the enemy? Admittedly, I went into the process of identifying the most climate-friendly package with a different option in mind – plant-based plastic that is biodegradable.
