This is a very unique contribution! I love fresh coconut water and would definitely purchase one of these if I lived in an area with coconuts. I'm curious about the afterlife of the coconut. When the user is finished, do they remove the tap and cap and use it over or do they just throw it away? If they are not encouraged to reuse it, these caps seem to just continue contributing to the problem unfortunately.
Plaine Products , this is such an awesome idea! I love how easy you make it to return-ship the bottles. Do you ship around the country?
I work for PLAN, a non-profit which supports student-led zero waste initiatives on college campuses, and I'd love to talk about ways that we could work with the Plaine team to offer this product as a solution to campuses. Feel free to hit us up at info@postlandfill.org if you want to talk :)
