Good water!
Now this is very cool. We’ve discovered a new product called ‘good’ water which is packaged in a sustainable container that looks and feels like just like plastic – but is actually corn. Yep, corn! 
The bottle, which is a fundraiser for the Sir Peter Blake Trust, is made from corn starch as opposed to traditional fossil-fuel based petro-chemicals. What’s more, every bottle of ‘good’ water sold means that 10c goes towards the Sir Peter Blake Trust, which will use these funds to help educate young Kiwis’ about the environment.
With so much emphasis on the environment and sustainability, ‘good’ water couldn’t have come at a better time. We’re all getting more picky about what we buy, eat and drink. Sustainable products which support a good cause are in hot demand.
The Good Water Project had two aims when it started two years ago:
1. To create a bottle made from renewable and sustainable resources. This goal has been achieved and the bio-bottle is actually made in Auckland.
2. To make this bottle the first ever water bottle to be fully recycled in New Zealand. The shocking truth is that currently in New Zealand no PET bottles are recycled here. They are either sent to landfill or exported to China where some of them are even burned.
Keep an eye out for it Shell and BP gas stations as well as all the main organic stores and New World supermarkets. ‘good’ comes in two sizes – 600ml and the new 375ml.
Best of the rest
