Boxed Water Is Better® – the most renewable packaged water alternative to plastic bottles– is teaming up with Alaska Airlines to offer less impactful packaged water to passengers as a part of their joint mission to address the ongoing plastic pollution problem.

Starting this month, Alaska Airlines will begin to replace single-use plastic bottles in First Class with Boxed Water’s 92% plant-based cartons, effectively removing 7.2 million plastic bottles a year – equivalent to approximately 98,000 lbs of plastic.

The initiative is one of many in Alaska Airlines’ commitment to sustainability and a continuing step forward in reducing inflight waste. (Story from PR Newswire)
