Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new type of container for drinking water or other liquids that has a unique design to make it easy to use and dispose of. The container has a top component that can be torn off to access the liquid, and then resealed by peeling apart. The remaining part is tethered to a finger loop to prevent litter. The design of the container also allows multiple containers to be bundled together, eliminating the need for a separate carrier. The container is made using an all natural structural board, reducing material usage in pallettizing and allowing for self-merchandising. The overall effect is an improved container design for better user experience and environmental friendliness.

Problems solved by technology

This is because many plastics are not recyclable or they are not properly recycled.
Many that are recyclable never reach recycling centers.

Embodiment Construction

[0046]With reference to the drawings, FIGS. 1A, B, C and D show a first embodiment of the invention. The invention comprises a container 10 that is made of an ecologically sensitive material such as bamboo, palm leaves or another paper product or any other ecologically considerate material, such as those described above. The container 10 comprises sections 10A and 10B. A barrier film 12 such as a micro-thin polymer / PLA / foil and / or laminate barrier sheet, polymer film, a polymer foil laminate, a liquid barrier material, or another suitable environmentally friendly plastic or other natural liquid barrier material is disposed on each container half on what will be the inside of the container. The two halves are bonded together at a joint 14, preferably by the barrier film 12. A closure device 16 is formed from two portions of the sections 10A and 10B which interlock together at the top of the container. The sealing portion of the closure device 16 comprises two portions 16A and 16B whi...
