What's wrong with this picture??
Yesterday we talked about the advantages of juice box packaging. Today we thought about the disadvantages. Here’s today’s list:
Sometimes they leak and spill through the straw
Sometimes it’s not enough juice
Juice boxes cannot be refilled and reused
little juice boxes make more waste than a big box
Not all the parts are recyclable – we have to throw out the straw
We found it was hard to think of many disadvantages, so decided to do some comparing to other ways of packaging juice. These could be using a water bottle, bigger jugs of juice, powdered juice, frozen concentrate….
Can you add to our lists?
Hi 4G, in 4Y we thought about some of the disadvantages of juice boxes and did a little research as well. We weren’t sure if it was easier to recycle a pop can or a juice box, do you know the answer? Here is the website 4Y used for their research: http://pbskids.org/loopscoops/about-juice-boxes.html
Here is our list of disadvantages:
-can’t pour easily into a cup
-more expensive than frozen juice or powder
-some places don’t have Hydro-Pulping machines
so they need to ship them elsewhere which uses gas
-not as convenient as single serving powder
-people litter juice boxes but not reusable bottles
Thank you for inspiring us!
