Innovation, inspired
by nature.
Nature is the ultimate circular economy. Every thing has a purpose and nothing goes to waste. That was our inspiration. And we strive to ensure each piece of plastic remains part of the value chain and out of the environment.
Setting out into uncharted territory, we searched for sustainable packaging options, discovering innovative ways to make the impossible, possible. We learned that recycled PET plastic had the lowest carbon footprint vs. other materials like cartons, glass or aluminum and was by far the safest and most recyclable material available for food and beverage packaging. Then we developed more efficient ways to recycle it, making valuable products out of materials that would otherwise be considered waste.
Revolutionizing the future of plastic.
We’re the first beverage company in North America to build and operate our own recycling facility in a closed loop.
From curbside collection (the blue box), to manufacturing 100% recycled packaging, to bottling natural spring water, then having those bottles collected and returned to us again. That means no new plastic in our bottles.
