  Um, we don't have them because plastic is cheaper to make. Why do you think they push plastic bags at stores even though paper bags exist? DollaDolla Bills Yall.

  concept not new, but effort in trying is always good!
  
  at any rate, hotels should start using paper cartons like that of milk cartons instead of plastic bottles for their complimentary water. it cant look nicer too with a right design.

  It takes 10 times the energy to produce a paper bag than it does to to produce a biodegradable plastic one. I don't even want to hazard a guess at the negative impact something like this thing would have on the environment. Unless there is a way around this... very bad idea. The current cartons we have for milk and juice are very easy to print on, this is key to anyone buying into something like this. I can see it being another issue with this design. If industry can't cover a product with their branding all the way around, it's destined for the useless pile. We've seen a lot of stuff like this from Europe and nothing has really permeated North America, I applaud people who keep trying!

  I love it! I want to buy them. How can I get it? What's the pricing? Doing walk-a-thons and this would be great!

  Good idea --- not so good design.
  Sorta the Prius of packaging.... green, and not-so-pretty.
  
  I commend the concept though. Certainly a plethora of environmental benefits and even potential line/distribution efficiencies that could stem from a system like this.
  Kudos to the Brandimage (Laga) team.

  I would be interested in understanding the materials research that underlies this concept. Do you need to add a polymer to the paper in order to make it waterproof? What about poisonous contaminants in printing inks for recycled papers. Does making the paper liquidproof prevent the paper material being recycled?

  This is brilliant! I'd love to see beverage products sold in these containers at festivals, etc. I think the shelf-life issues become less of an issue when you know it'll be sold and used very soon. Still, I wonder if the shelf-life isn't soo great (maybe the inner liner (is there one?) will give out), then you'd have to have a filling system at distributed production sites.
  
  For out of the way (i.e. in the "middle of nowhere") markets, you'd just have to send a large vat of the beverage along with the paper bottles and have a mini-production facility.
  
  Best,
  Shalin

  I love this idea! When and where do I get to see it in action. Even people who know about the waste of single use plastic water bottles still buy them out of convince. I'd love to see an alternative out on the market!

  Well, there are those little Dixie paper cups, which shows that a paper bottle isn't completely impossible.
  
  +1 to the folks that came up with this, even though a paper bottle is one of those things that one wonders why oneself didn't come up with it.

  Wonder what the shelf life of this is. I would expect a lot of porosity, but obviously they've done something to address it. Wax lining perhaps?
