Trivium Packaging’s RainForest Water aluminium bottle is this year’s winner in Packaging Design at the 2021 iF Design Awards.

The focus of the award this year was not only on outstanding design but also on those that fully embraced sustainability methods, recyclable materials and reusability.

“Trivium continues to push the envelope by designing premium metal packaging that grabs the attention of consumers while meeting the highest standards in design and sustainability,” said John Blum, VP Quality & R&D, Americas for Trivium Packaging. 

“As new, emerging companies as well as large organizations increasingly look to eco-friendly packaging, we’re proud that our infinitely recyclable solutions stand out as an appealing, popular choice.”

RainForest Artesian Waterbottle was designed to help eliminate single-use plastics that dominate the bottled water market.

The bottle uses 25% recycled aluminium and can be re-closed, refilled and 100% recycled with no plastic components. 

Its intricate and eye-catching labelling pays homage to the source of the bottled water, namely the rainforest. The bottle’s lightweight, re-closable and unbreakable elements appeal to the on-the-go, eco-conscience consumer who wants convenience and sustainability.

“This recognition fills us with excitement and gives us a boost to continue our fight against single-use plastic bottles,” said Facundo Fischer, Chief Brand Officer of RainForest Artesian Water. “Trivium’s trajectory as aluminium packaging manufacturers and our expertise in beautiful design has merged to create the most beautiful and most sustainable aluminium bottle ever created.” Sourced from artesian springs, the water is gravity fed to the bottling plant without the use of energy. A portion of every sale goes towards reforestation.

Amongst nearly 10,000 entries from 52 countries, Rainforest Water’s packaging won over the 98-member jury, made of independent experts from all over the world.
