As you know Sustainable PF and I are hitting the road soon on a road trip. I loaded up on some road trip food items yesterday while doing the groceries. One item was juice packs. Although I know that one large bottle of juice and cups would be more eco friendly, we won’t have a cooler with us so that option is not feasible. Instead I bought juice tetra packs instead of juice bottles. Juice tetra packs will cost about the same or less than juice in bottles but they are more environmentally friendly to recycle.

Not only do they recycle well but they also make less of a carbon footprint. They weigh a lot less than bottles so they require less gas to ship them.
Hope you have a great time on your trip.
Very true MissT. The other nice to thing about them is that they are a lot more durable and less likely to break than say glass juice bottles which is a good thing for road trips and camping.
Great tip, this packaging is a good eco-friendly choice. I think it might take a bit of a shift in thinking of some folks here (in the U.S) to buy certain things in these packs – like milk, for example. However, they seem worth it when considering the greater good. I just bought a small container of soymilk in this type of packaging….no different than any other I bought in terms of taste!
I’ve read that wine snobs really don’t like these packs.
