Q: Is this made with recycled aluminum? if so, what percentage is recycled?

Aluminum cans are recycled more often than plastic, glass, and even cartons and on average, contain 70% recycled content. Aluminum cans have more than 3X the recycled content than EPA estimates for glass or plastic.

Q: Can I sore in my car?

Open Water can can definitely be stored in your car. In terms of the proper storage temperature, we recommend keeping an ambient temperature with temperatures above 32F (freezing) and below 90F.

Question 1

Is the case wrapped in plastic?

Accepted Answer

Nope! The cans are packaged in cardboard cases.

Question 2

Why is canned water more expensive than beer!! It 400x more expensive than bottled water yet better for our environment. Very very wrong!!

Accepted Answer

FACT CHECK:  Dasani 8 pack 12 ounce water is $2.88 or .03 an ounce.  This: $19.99 for 12 pack of 12 ounce or .14 cents an ounce (rounding up).  So 3 (Dasani) x5 =15 (> Open Water) so it is under FIVE TIMES the cost.   5 < 400.  You are two orders of magnitude off which is ridiculous.
Also, at $2 in the store for 20 ounce that is about .10 cents an ounce and people buy those every day.  
You can argue it is more expensive than you want to pay, that is fine.  
But they cheap plastic bottles can get crushed or leak and they certainly are harmful to the environment.  Aluminum is one of the most plentiful minerals however, it's already in the ground everywhere it is just a matter of how long it takes for a can to break down- but it isn't toxic to anything.
One reason to buy this is emergency storage for long term.  Water properly stored in aluminum can last 20-25 years- absolutely the best way to do it hands down.  If you think a 25 year old can of beer or Coke is going to save your life... well you get what you paid for that.  I won't say it would kill you... but I suspect you would not drink it unless you are nearly dead already.  Coke and beer both seem nasty after just 2-3 years, right?
If you get the right kind of BPA-free HDPA plastic water storage containers they run $20-30 to hold 2-5 gallons, but they don't last 25 years.  Maybe 5-10 at most if you add stabilizers.  And 5 gallons of water is 40+ pounds but you can't easily pick up the barrel shape.  So there is a convenience factor here.
However, the PRICE PER OUNCE is completely irrelevant for a discussion about the environmental impact.  That is going to be more an issue of manufacturing, and the environmental impact of what they put IN the can.  Water has a lot fewer chemicals than any soda.  I bet there is a lot of machinery and energy involved in making soda at scale.
I'm just looking for a 2-3 gallons of portable survival water, not a paid endorsement or employee (and I don't claim to have more than HALF a brain but how much did it take here?).
@Open Water... come on guys do a better job defending your purpose and product than some random passer-by.
