Five whys seems to indicate that the main problem is bottled water companies compete on clarity, bottled water companies could/would use recycled plastic if they had to use an opaque plastic container, like what soylent uses, rather than competing on "clear".

- superwayne 8y agoTetrapaks are collected and recycled in my country (Austria) so I do think that it's possible.
