Our new bottles are better for you, your kids and the environment because they are lightweight, shatterproof and easily recyclable. We use only the best quality clear plastic bottles because they're easier and more efficient to recycle than glass. They're also the most widely recycled beverage container, and they're recycled to make such useful items as polar fleece and fiber-fill for jackets.

We use highly filtered water from the acclaimed Hetch-Hetchy system that contains snow melt from the Sierra Nevada mountains. We use a triple filtration system that includes carbon, ultraviolet and barrier filtration down to 0.5 microns in pore size. Those with compromised immune systems can be assured that this filtration eliminates cryptosporidium cysts. Chloramine and its byproducts are also removed. See similar questions...

Glass is easier to sterilize, re-use, and recycle. Glass doesn't breathe like plastic which can impart off-odors. Glass is also more attractive and lets you visually judge the wine's clarity. See similar 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.

Glass bottles or jars used for food or drink can be placed in small quantities in your crate at kerbside for recycling. Larger domestic quantities can be taken to an EcoDepot for recycling. You are able to drop-off items at the recycling drop-off areas during normal EcoDepot hours at no charge. Certain organisations collect jam jars for reuse. If you have 30 or more jars you can call the TerraNova Waste Exchange facilitator (336 0080) to arrange for collection. See similar questions...

Lluvia??? Skin Care products come in glass bottles to preserve the integrity of natural ingredients. The dark emerald green color glass was chosen not only because it represents the richness of the Rainforest but to protect the formulas from light. In addition, products containing essential oils may not be compatible with plastic containers. Glass containers ensure no biochemical integration. Please recycle all enclosures and containers.

The combination of ingredients used to make glassware is different from what goes into container glass for bottles and jars. If these two types of glass are recycled together, the resulting glass will not be suitable for container glass. In fact, glassware, ceramics, window panes, or mirrors can pose a threat to equipment in a glass recycling plant. Compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and tubes come in various shapes and sizes.

Farmers’ All Natural Creamery milk is packaged using the best method available for preserving its unique freshness. We use a PET bottle that does not leach into the milk, like softer plastic dairy bottles do. UV blockers in the bottle make it a better option than glass because milk is very sensitive to light. Just minutes of exposure to sunlight and to ultraviolet lighting in grocery stores induces vitamin degradation and light oxidation. See similar questions...

Plastic caps are not recyclable. The caps are made from a type of plastic that is not recyclable. Before recycling glass bottles, please remove plastic caps and throw them in the trash. Metal caps are okay, please rinse clean and place in recycling cart. See similar questions...

Both materials are recyclable and should be placed in the same recycling cart, unattached. At the recycling facility, a magnetic "belt" is used to separate the ferrous metals, like jar lids, bottle caps and steel cans, from the other materials. If the metal lids are left of the jar, they are not separated. In the glass handling process at the recycling facility, the lid becomes a contaminant and is not recycled but is discarded as waste. See similar questions...

No. Broken glass is a handling hazard for the recycling truck operator. Also, broken glass makes it difficult to determine what type of glass it is. This can lead to contamination. See similar questions...

The bottle industry has promoted a fallacy for years that colored bottles will better protect oils from damage from UV light. The truth is that colored bottles don’t filter out UV any better than clear glass. ALL GLASS ABSORBS UV radiation.

Store extra bottles at room temperature, but avoid direct sun and heat. Even a few hours in direct sun or high heat will ruin the delicate flavor of the seltzer. Heated or frozen bottles can also explode violently. These are returnable bottles. Please care for them and keep the flow going -- quantities are limited. Please do not loosen the tops; the small amount of seltzer in the bottom is not counted in the volume you are charged for -- you are not being shorted. See similar questions...
