Based on the New York Times Op-Ed column yesterday regarding “New Alarm Bells About Chemicals and Cancer” and which comments on concerns associated with the use of bisphenol-A, commonly known as BPA, in food and beverage containers, it is important for buyers of ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water to know that ECO-Choice Water cartons contain absolutely no BPA.
ECO-Choice Water cartons, which are produced by SIG Combibloc, consist of approximately 75% paper board which is a renewable resource harvested from managed forests and is FSC certified resource wood. The liquid barrier and bonding agent used in cartons is polyethylene, not PET. The carton also contains a 6 micron thick layer of aluminum which protects the water from light and aroma migration.
The twist cap used on ECO-Choice Water cartons is made from 100% polyethylene, not PET, and weights only 2.7 grams.
Not only is ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water pristine water, but it is packaged in a state of the art, environmentally responsible package, that is free from chemicals which have uncertain effects on consumers.
Today’s New York Times Op-Ed points out that studies of BPA have raised alarm bells for decades, and the evidence is still complex and open to debate. Legislation that would ban BPA from food and beverage containers is pending in the Senate but is being resisted by the food industry based on the ambiguous data surrounding BPA. The President’s Cancer Panel is releasing a 200-page report today warning that our lackadaisical approach to regulation may have far-reaching consequences for our health. The Panel’s point is that we should be prudent in such situations, rather than recklessly approving chemicals of uncertain effect.

As a part of ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water’s contribution to Earth Week this year, ECO-Choice Springwater, LLC is making a limited time price reduction offer to facilities that store bottle water as part of the Local, National or International Disaster Relief Programs in their communities. This limited time price reduction offers the product at approximately 50% off regular pricing with minimum truckload quantity orders.
ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water provides an ideal “Green Solution” for facilities that store or provide water for disaster relief purposes because, in addition to being an environmentally responsible solution to the issues associated with bottled water packaged in traditional PET containers, ECO-Choice Spring Water offers efficient storage and transportation due to its light weight, square carton format. In fact, approximately 10% more volume of ECO-Choice Water can be stored in the same space required to store traditional PET volumes. Plus, ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water will guarantee a full 2-year shelf life for the product purchased under this program for Disaster Relief Inventory storage or usage.
For detail on this limited time offer, contact Jennifer Juarez at Snacks on Racks at Jennifer@snacksonracks.com or at 816 505 9131 ext 7002.

As the USA celebrates Earth Week this month, ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water is celebrating its first anniversary in the marketplace. ECO-Choice Water’s first shipment was to Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Lawrence, Kansas in mid-April 2009 which introduced the bottled water on April 15 of that year as part of the hospital’s “Go-Green” initiative. Retailer and consumer response to ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water since that time has been quite positive. The product line is now sold in over 500 retail grocery stores across the USA and distribution is building quickly. In addition to retail grocery stores, several upscale hotels and C-stores chains are also evaluating the opportunity to sell ECO-Choice Water in their establishments.
The rapid acceptance of ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water seems inevitable given that recent consumer studies indicate that “29% of U.S. consumers state that packaging that is better for the environment influences their Brand Selection”. The environmental advantages of the type of SIG Combibloc aseptic packaging used for ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water are well documented, from the sustainability of the raw materials used to produce the cartons (wood from managed forests) to its easy recyclability where collection systems exist. Even The Climate Project has recognized the environmental responsibly inherent in this type of aseptic packaging and, in fact, ECO-Choice Springwater, LLC donates one cent for every carton of water sold to The Climate Project.
We thank our new and loyal customers for making our first year such a big success! We promise to continue to strive to do all we can to be the “eco-friendly” alternative in the bottle water business. For more information about ECO-Choice Natural Spring Water, visit our website.
