It’s not a secret anymore: plastic takes a long time to decompose. Plastic pollution is a common problem in many countries because most items don't get recycled and end up in landfills or the ocean, harming the environment. 

In a bid to reduce pollution, create a cleaner environment, give back to the planet, and provide a clean and safe alternative to plastic water bottles, Boxed Water Is Better was born. The company aims to provide clean and pure drinking water in the most sustainable way. And that’s in a box. 

Robert Koenen, the Chief Marketing Officer of Boxed Water Is Better, is Steve Cleere's guest in this episode of the NexxtLevel Podcast. Robert talks about the company's mission in providing sustainable solutions for people and the environment through boxed water, how the cartons differ from milk bottles, and the company's future plans.
