Being realistic, nobody is going to use these for water bottles either. And even if they did how many water bottles do you really need?<p>K-Cups are wasteful, but at least they ship three months (90 K-Cups) at a time and there is very little wasted space during shipping (it is just packed coffee). Is it a waste of plastic&#x2F;foil? Absolutely. But in terms of shipping waste, K-Cups aren&#x27;t near the worst.<p>These on the other hand are shipping around tap water. That uses up fuel, it uses up space, and it arguably wastes even more plastic. There&#x27;s no reason this couldn&#x27;t be shipped as a powder and sell you months and months of the stuff.<p>The saddest part is that they USED to sell the product like that. They&#x27;re moving to this method to increase the price (and let&#x27;s not pretend: It is a marked increase).
