Why is ZEVIA® packaged in aluminum cans instead of glass bottles?

ZEVIA Frequently Asked Questions
Aluminum cans are better on the environment than glass bottles. For example, making cans from recycled aluminum cuts related air pollution by 95%, whereas making glass from recycled materials reduces air pollution by only 20%. Aluminum is much lighter than glass to ship and consequently reduces stress on the environment, such as gas required to fuel trucks, materials necessary to handle the load of glass, and extra emissions from freight vehicles due to weight.

How are aluminum cans made?

Aluminum Technology, Aluminum Testing, Aluminum Research
Aluminum beverage cans, one of the great product development success stories for the industry, are produced in two parts. The body of the can is produced by the draw and ironing process from 3004 alloy sheet, while the lids are produced from 5182 alloy by stamping. They are subsequently crimped together to form the familiar two-piece can. The U.S. aluminum industry annually produces material for over 100 billion cans per year-or about one can per person per day.

Do I really have to empty my bottles and cans before I recycle them?

Recycling FAQ
Yes - if you've got more than a few drops of water, you'll have to throw the bottle in the trash. Full or partially full bottles and cans create a hazard at the recycling plant of our waste service provider, WSI. Because of this, bottles and cans that are partially full are considered contaminated, and can spoil a whole load of recyclables. Water a thirsty plant, or share with a (clean) friend before you toss it out - you'll have no problem getting rid of the extra.
