Sam’s Club China Debuts Label-Free Member’s Mark Drinking Water

• Sam’s Club China has launched label-free Member’s Mark drinking water, reducing plastic, ink, and energy use, and making recycling easier as part of its sustainable packaging efforts.
• Sam’s Club China is updating packaging across multiple Member’s Mark products, removing unnecessary plastics and using more recyclable materials, supporting Walmart’s larger sustainability and Project Gigaton goals.

The only thing more punk rock than being well-hydrated is a steadfast refusal to be labeled. Now, Sam’s Club members in China can do both.

Under the private brand Member’s Mark, Sam’s Club just launched a label-free drinking water, an innovative solution in the company’s journey toward more sustainable packaging.

The choice to strip labels from its bottles means Sam’s Club reduces plastic use during manufacturing, leaving just one material to recycle at the end of the bottle’s use. The lack of a label also reduces ink and energy consumption. But fear not: a case of water is the minimum selling unit, so you still get nutrition facts on the outer packaging of the case. Customer response to the new, label-less water bottle will be a key outcome of this trial effort.

Sourced from nature, and designed to help protect it, the label-less bottles reflect the cleanliness and quality of their contents.
