![]() Much like Harmless Harvest’s original coconut water products, Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water With Aloe Pulp turns pink naturally due to the liquid’s antioxidants interacting with light - a result of a proprietary non-thermal pasteurization process, it adds. Harmless Harvest Organic Coconut Water With Aloe Pulp offers a balance of soft, tender pieces of aloe combined with the brand’s iconic, taste-filled coconut water, the company says. We’re confident that the benefits of aloe vera pulp coupled with Harmless Harvest’s great tasting organic coconut water base will excite our customers and address the demand for a better-for-you option in the functional beverage space.” “This insight, along with the fact that most aloe drinks that currently lead the category are loaded with added sugar, brought to light the clear whitespace. happens to be one of the fastest growing markets for aloe-based beverages,” said Jake Qian, vice president of innovation at Harmless Harvest, in a statement. 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.“The U.S. 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. ![]()
