Juice in a Box Encourages Environmental Awareness in Children

The eco-friendly craze has spread like wildfire in the past several years, and now the movement is even targeting the minds of young kids. Designer Leo Corrales and Precidio Design Inc. have developed Juice in a Box, a reusable juice box for children as an alternative to drinking the typical one-time-use juice boxes.

The Juice in a Box containers are made of reusable plastic and come equipped with both a lid and straw, and are the perfect size to fit in packed lunches to bring to school. The outside of the containers cater to young children, featuring cartoon characters and colourful designs.

Recently proposed at the International Home and Housewares Show, the design is aimed at making kids conscious of their impact on the environment from a young age so they continue eco-friendly practices throughout their entire lives. Getting the 'go green' initiative instilled in young minds may be what it takes to make a significant impact in long-term sustainable living.
