London Zoo swaps plastic water bottles for aluminium cans designed by Christopher Raeburn
Canowater has revealed the latest addition to its range of environmentally friendly water cans ? a special-edition container created by fashion designer Christopher Raeburn for London Zoo.
A UK-based company, Canowater was established in 2015 with the aim of creating a "sustainable alternative to single-use plastic bottles". It instead packages drinking water inside aluminium cans.
"Aluminium has the highest recycling rate of any drink out there," said company co-founder Josh White. "Recycle a can and it could be back on the shelf in as little as six weeks".
For this latest project, the company worked alongside Zoological Society of London (ZSL) to design a replacement for the plastic water bottles sold at both London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo. Canowater cans feature a resealable lid
As of tomorrow, 22 March 2018, ZSL will only sell water inside the Canowater containers.
These special-edition cans will be adorned with a shark motif designed by Raeburn ? a sustainability champion who has previously launched clothing made from waste fabrics.
Each can also features a resealable lid, so it can be kept in a bag just like a water bottle.
According to Canowater, the aluminium protects the water from elements that may make it unsafe to drink.
"We use aluminium cans which protect the water from light, oxygen and other elements that can affect taste and water safety," White said.
