To be packed in BPA-free Tetra Pak cartons made from paper
O.N.E. World Enterprises, a Los Angeles-based beverage company offering health drinks, announces the launch of O.N.E. Water, which is reportedly a sustainable alternative to plastic bottled water.
The company claims that O.N.E. Water is 100% pure, natural spring water packaged in BPA-free Tetra Pak cartons which are made primarily from paper, a renewable resource that comes from responsibly sourced, well-managed forests where reforestation and biodiversity are actively monitored and maintained.
Additionally, Tetra Pak cartons are recyclable. Though recycling is the preferred method of disposal, a majority of beverage packages still end up in landfills.
However, plastic bottles can take up to 700 years to begin to decompose, while Tetra Pak cartons begin to decompose in only 12 to 15 weeks, said the company.
The company said that O.N.E. Water is sourced from the Blue Mountain plateau of Eastern Canada, an area that is actively reforested every spring; the trees help minimize evaporation, maintain cold temperatures and keep the aquifer clean.
Rodrigo Veloso, founder and CEO of O.N.E, said: "We pride ourselves on being a socially and environmentally responsible company, and are extremely proud to offer consumers an alternative to plastic bottled water. We also feel passionately that giving back to the community is a necessary, important part of building a successful business and we are thrilled to have that opportunity with O.N.E. Water."
