Naked Juice in recycled bottles

Naked Juice's new bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials!

Fri, Jul 31 2009 at 6:54 PM EST

 

Noticed the new recycled Naked Juice bottles? I haven’t seen them in stores yet, but got a sample in the mail. The new bottles look like the old bottles — except they’re made of 100 percent post-consumer recycled materials and have little recycling signs on them announcing that fact.

So far, just the big 32 oz. bottles are recycled versions — or reNEWabottles, as Naked calls them (PDF) — but the company plans to transition all bottles into reNEWabottles in 2010. The recycled bottles are recyclable, too!
 
I’d drink more Naked if the juice were organic — but for now it’s just the containers that are getting greener. Naked juice does use Rainforest Alliance certified bananas — which are better options than regular bananas, but controversial, since the Rainforest Alliance’s standards tend to be lower than that of other ethical labels.

Many haven’t caught up yet, but it is exciting to see some who have like Naked. We still have much to improve but there is hope in the direction many are taking.

Since I live in Costa Rica, I haven’t had a chance to try Naked Juice, but hear it’s delicious. But since I live here, working for the Rainforest Alliance, I have had seen the huge difference Rainforest Alliance certification has made on the way bananas are grown, so I’m confused by your comment about the standards. I guess you are thinking about agrochemicals. Rainforest Alliance certification allows very carefully managed use of some agrochemicals (but those on the “Dirty Dozen”.... More
