Resolution

"This is a environmentally oriented and refillable water bottle with flavor refills. By screwing on the small flavour caps to the bottom of the bottle a sharp knife breaks the seal, which lets the flavour out and mixes it with the water. The idea is to make people carry one bottle around and use it over time instead of buying new plastic ones, for a one time use."

Boxed Water

“What is this?” you ask. “Bottled water in a box?” Nope. It’s boxed water, and it’s brilliant! With 90% of the container coming from renewable resources and 20% of their profits reinvested in clean water and sustainable forestation initiatives, it seems like they’re living up to their claim). Boxed Water is a much needed breath of fresh air in a world littered with plastic bottles saying the same thing the same way (i.e. Mountains and rivers on clear plastic containers that will exist long after we’ve turned to dust). A great piece of design. Did I mention they’re out of Grand Rapids. Could it get any better?

Salve Water

"I will not spend the money for myself. I will rather spend it in special business on a no-profit-no-loss policy." – Muhammad Yunus

The quote from Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Prize laureate and the developer of the term "social business", summarizes well the process which guided the concept behind Salve ("Save" in portuguese), a product conceived and branded by À La Carte Design and developed in joint with Acqua Incorp.

We're living in an era in which philanthropy, eco-consciousness and well-being are increasingly present in each aspect of our daily lives. And the "Generation G" – G for "generosity" –, as pointed out by Trendwatching website, moves and is moved by this urge in doing the good, not only for the self, but for everyone else.
And is precisely in this desire to do the good that "Salve" makes a call, turning the simple act of buying a bottle of water into a collaborative movement that helps to transform lives.

The identity follows this concept, of collectiveness, compounded by a mosaic of icons representing positive attitudes which, albeit small, form a greater picture; the importance of small acts that realize great things together.

And to kick off this project, Instituto Criar will be the first institution to be benefitted through the "Salve" water, with your donation. Take an action, take "Salve".
