Boxed Water™ and other Planet-Focused Partners Band Together for
September’s Coastal Cleanup Month
As plastic waste surges in the pandemic era, leading conscious brands, including TOMS, ChicoBag,
Necessaire, and Toad&Co, join Boxed Water in bringing awareness back to our environment
and offering a planet-focused giveaway in the process.
Boxed Water Is Better® – the most sustainable water brand in the category – has teamed up with partners who offer eco-friendly products including:
TOMS,
ChicoBag,
Nécessaire,
Toad&Co
to drive consumer awareness of September’s Coastal Cleanup Month. As a part of their shared, ongoing mission to stop plastic from polluting land and beaches, the campaign will activate a multi-faceted online giveaway and support the nationwide cleanup efforts of nonprofits like Ocean Blue Project.
The campaign kicked off on September 8, 2020, and will continue through the entire Coastal Cleanup month of September, with other key dates including:
—National Clean-Up Day on September 19,
—Climate Week slated for September 21-27.
Participating brands want to address the continued climate crisis, help offset the pandemic plastic surge, and celebrate a “renewed normal,” all while incentivizing people to participate in safe clean-up efforts with eco-friendly products that are good for the planet.
“We are so excited to announce the launch of our campaign with many amazing brands who share our mission to protect the planet,” said Daryn Kuipers, CEO of Boxed Water.
“Yes, there’s a lot going on in the world, but the environment is critical to our health and wellbeing. We are relishing the reprieve the great outdoors offers us right now. Let’s repay the favor, and keep our coasts, oceans, rivers and lands clean and free of plastic pollution.”
The participating brands are contributing more than $10,000 to Ocean Blue Project, a grassroots, community-driven nonprofit to clean and care for our oceans, lakes, and rivers.
Consumers can indicate their clean-up pledge via a landing page launching on September 8 on boxedwater.com and enter for a chance to win “clean up kits” which will include:
–a water subscription from Boxed Water Is Better,
—ChicoBag reusable snack bags, produce bags, and To-Go Ware bamboo utensils,
—TOMS’ earthwise™️ eyewear rooted in earth-friendly materials,
—Nécessaire’s climate-neutral The Hand Cream,
—Toad&Co’s 100% organic cotton graphic tees designed in partnership with artist Daren Thomas Magee.
Consumers are encouraged to use these goods for their own socially distanced cleanups or “plogging,” a movement originating in Europe, that combines jogging (hiking and walking too) with picking up litter.
“Our ability to mitigate the climate crisis requires that we rally as a community, activating our individual and collective powers to make a difference,” noted Rob Koenen, Chief Marketing Officer at Boxed Water.
“We can each flex our muscles with actual clean-up efforts, shared knowledge and expertise, purchase power and social awareness efforts. I am proud that these brands banded together during this significant month for the planet.”
Ocean Blue Project’s mission is to rehabilitate and conserve the world’s oceans, beaches, and rivers through beach and river cleanups. Boxed Water began a partnership with Ocean Blue Project in 2018, committing to clean 3,000 miles of beaches across the country.

DISCLOSURE:
I was provided Boxed Water to test drive along with a couple of other products —Liquid I.V packets to improve my hydration, Nécessaire Hand Cream along with a ChicoBag Produce Bag to keep any veggies or food fresh or at least slow down any wilting. These products make it easy for me to talk about a product and tell you what I think. If I didn’t have any samples, I would not be able to tell you about how the product works and why you should try it. These are great products that I would have mentioned because they are helpful during the summer and fall.– particularly since So. California typically has a lot of steamy days during Indian Summer (fall)
Stevie’s Comments:
I was sent a dozen bottles of Boxed Water Is Better so that I could experience the “boxed water” effect. I like boxes. They are very sturdy and they hold up well. I like the smaller size (16 oz.) since it didn’t take up a lot of room in my refrigerator. It’s easy to keep in the car without heating it up too much when my car is in my driveway. I like that the boxes get cold faster than any plastic bottle. The water tastes good too.
Boxed Water on the left, and Liquid IV – Hydration Multiplier on the left!
Also included with the Boxed Water were a few extra items!
I was sent Liquid I.V. which are small tubes of electrolytes and vitamins to add to water to increase overall hydration.
—Non-GMO electrolyte powder mixes into 16 oz of water for rapid hydration. 75% of Americans suffer from chronic dehydration even if you are just walking around. (see above)
— This product utilizes breakthrough science of Cellular Transport Technology (CTT), a specific ratio of potassium, sodium, and glucose that delivers water and other key nutrients directly to your bloodstream, hydrating you faster and more efficiently than water alone.
—1 packet can provide the same hydration as drinking 2-3 bottles of water.
Maximize your hydration, replenish your body. Daily dangers of dehydration include headache, dizziness, confusion, muscle fatigue, muscle cramping, fainting, and fuzzy thinking. (People often turn to sweets to give them a boost without realizing that they are dehydrated and need to be drinking lots of water rather than drinking colas or eating sweets!)
–Contains 11 essential minerals and vitamins & more Vitamin C than an orange, more potassium than a banana. 110% Daily Value of Vitamin C, B3, B5, B6, and B12. It also comes in various flavors. I got lemon/lime — which is a nice tweak on citrus!
–Considering the current weather we have going on in California with fires (smoke & ash) along with high temperatures, it’s important to stay hydrated. Now I can get better hydration and load up on electrolytes with Liquid IV tubes that are so portable.
This hand cream feels pretty luxurious during application. It’s not thick but not too thin either. It spreads easily and is quickly absorbed. It’s fragrance-free and I love how my hands felt after application.
I was given a Chico Bag that used for produce! Why produce? It’s a special fabric that will help preserve the freshness of vegetables and fruit. You can use it in transporting groceries home, or in the refrigerator to maintain the freshness of things like lettuce or other items that sensitive to heat. OR you can pack a lunch or snacks in the bag to keep things fresh and not have the items deteriorate! This will be great for me to use because I buy lots of produce! This is my idea of a great little gift -whether for yourself or for others. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks to Boxed Water Is Better for the water. LOVE it! Liquid IV was the perfect partner for this water during this fire season!
