The event, sponsored by the Green Capital Initiative in the House of Representatives, heralded the arrival of Naturally Iowa's newest product, "Green Bottle Spring Water." This new product will be the only bottled water available in the House Cafeteria, the Longworth Café.
The Cafeteria has access to a well-developed industrial compost system developed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The composting material is sent daily to the facility in nearby Maryland to go from trash to topsoil in less than ninety days. This fits perfectly with Naturally Iowa's criteria for placing their bottled water in "Closed Loop" environments, where there is a plan to collect all empty bottles and return them to nature. In addition to composting, the bottles can be incinerated, or ground up and used again.
The water for the Green Bottles is an underground source of natural spring water near Alton, Virginia, six hundred feet below a certified organic farm. After a nation-wide search, Naturally Iowa selected Grand Springs, and Mr. Robert Smith to be the strategic partner in this exciting project.
While the House of Representatives is the first location for "Green Bottle Spring Water," a large number of other government and non-government locations in the Washington DC area are working on their "closed-loop" strategies so that they can be added to the list of customers. Naturally Iowa's recently announced "Yogurt in a Bottle 7.0" is also packaged in NatureWorks, LLC's Ingeo bottle, and will be available as an added beverage in the Green Bottle Spring Water locations.
Mr. Horner added that without the assistance of NatureWorks, LLC, whose research and development led to this breakthrough in plastic technology, this product would not be possible. With it, Naturally Iowa can continue its mission to provide consumers the healthiest products in packaging that leads to a healthier environment.
