McClellan Mountain Spring Water

McClellan Mountain Spring Water just sent me their video showcasing their earth friendly ENSO bottles!



“McClellan Mountain Spring Water utilizes PET plastic bottles with a specially formulated additive that makes the bottle 100% biodegradable. This ENSO additive allows the bottles to maintain the same physical properties (shelf life, texture, clarity, appearance, etc) as traditional PET plastic bottles, however once these bottles are placed in a landfill , ocean, stream or other outdoor location, the bottle starts to breakdown in 250 days. At the end of 5 years, the biodegradable bottle returns to the environment a biogases and inert humus. In landfill disposal, our bottles promote the use of biogases, for use in creating clean energy.”

 


This Valentine’s Day Give Your Sweetheart a redleaf

This Valentine’s Day, instead of chocolate and diamonds, give your sweethearts something they’ll really love: redleaf water in their new BIO BOTTLE. The BIO BOTTLE is a first of its kind: a recyclable and biodegradable bottle developed by ENSO Bottles.

“We’re thrilled to have redleaf water using ENSO biodegradable bottles. Working together with redleaf is going to have a huge impact on helping the environment. It is only natural that a genuine display of commitment and corporate responsibility has magnetized the redleaf brand”

Earth-conscious consumers have long embraced redleaf’s unique high oxygen, mineral rich water to quench thirst and refresh their body. redleaf‘s passion to improve the environment is reflected in the design of its facility that boasts no water waste during bottling.

“redleaf’s mission is to provide our Ultra-Premium Canadian water in guilt-free BIO BOTTLES – and now that has become a reality!” said redleaf COO Dave Hillis. By embracing biodegradable technology from ENSO, redleaf is giving consumers the opportunity to take responsibility for a healthier earth.

redleaf’s BIO BOTTLE is a step in the right direction to further reduce the impact that empty water bottles have on the environment. Now consumers can recycle like they always have, but if an empty BIO BOTTLE ends up in a landfill it will biodegrade naturally, like any other organic matter.

“We’re thrilled to have redleaf water using ENSO biodegradable bottles. Working together with redleaf is going to have a huge impact on helping the environment. It is only natural that a genuine display of commitment and corporate responsibility has magnetized the redleaf brand,” said Danny Clark, President of ENSO.

redleaf is sweeping across the Mountain West Region of the U.S. and can be found in major grocery stores such as Fry’s, Albertsons, and Bashas’ as well as several prestigious American athletic events, including Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics Spring Training.

redleaf Water Partners with ENSO to Produce Industry’s First Biodegradable & Recyclable Water Bottle Hitting Shelves Today

redleaf Water, Canada’s Ultra-Premium bottled water, is now distributing the industry’s first biodegradable and recyclable water bottle. redleaf’s BIO BOTTLES produced by Arizona-based environmental solution provider ENSO Plastics, will biodegrade naturally in aerobic and anaerobic (landfill) conditions and are #1 PET, allowing the bottles to be recycled without requiring any special handling.

Today nearly all water bottles are #1 PET, meaning they can be recycled. Some competitors have recently introduced plant-based plastic bottles. Plant-based plastic bottles can be recycled, but do not biodegrade and do nothing to reduce the quantity of bottles that end up in landfills or the environment. The BIO BOTTLE represents a significant step forward as they can biodegrade naturally or be recycled.

“redleaf’s BIO BOTTLES are a step in the right direction to further reduce the impact empty water bottles have on the environment,” said redleaf COO Dave Hillis. “When we started the company, we made a commitment to aggressively seek alternatives to reduce our impact on the environment, while still providing customers with superior drinking water. We still have work to do, but redleaf’s BIO BOTTLES represent an important step forward in our ongoing mission to provide premium Canadian water in guilt-free bottles.”

ENSO pioneered the bottles from its research facility in Arizona. The company has worked for three years to perfect a bottle that is both #1 PET recyclable and biodegradable. While the process is classified, the results have been validated by Northeast Laboratories, a testing facility certified by the FDA, EPA and the Department of Defense and ISO.

“Our bottle is designed to be placed into the existing recycle streams, but if placed into a landfill or other natural environments, depending on the natures microbial activity, these bottles will disappear within 1-15 years as opposed to 500 for normal #1 PET bottles,” stated NAME AND TITLE. “Simply put these bottles disappear the same way other organic materials do.”

Complementing the release of BIO BOTTLES, redleaf will also launch the “Disappearing Project” in Spring 2011. The project is designed to highlight how BIO BOTTLES disappear in various environmental conditions.

redleaf starts as great water from an artesian aquifer in Chilliwack, British Columbia, and is made even better through a proprietary purification and bottling process. The water’s high oxygen content and high pH of 8.3 have been known to have several health benefits for the drinker, including increased alertness, hydration and stamina – all of which are crucial to athletes and sports fans alike.

Keeping with its efforts to reduce waste and minimize its impact on the environment, redleaf’s production process has a 1:1 bottling ratio. While many competitors have a 6:1 ratio, that means competitors waste five gallons of water for every one gallon they bottle.
