bottles are recyclable, tetrapack is not (or very hard to)?

Boxed water is not a solution alas, it will create it's own problems. Recycleable doesn't mean it will be recycled. Also tetrapak is not easy to recycle. You need to sort the plastic lining inside the carton first, then recycle the carton. This cost money so no one does it

Boxed water is ALSO single use.
And last time I heard very difficult to recycle, though with potential for incineration for energy recovery.
PET on the other hand IS recyclable. The question is: "why aren't we doing it at scale?"

Companies like this are now doing great things with plastic bottles.

How long since you dared to drink from the natural mountain spring water? Straight from the flow?

More importantly, why aren't more airports offering free access to drinking water airside.
Just come back from Crete and no dedicated access to fill a bottle/pouch. Made do with refilling in the baby feed station but far from ideal.

“Recyclable” plastic bottles still ultimately become microplastics. I’d like to use boxed water but at my neighborhood grocery it costs 4x plastic.
