Bottled Drinking Water in ecoH2O RPET Bottles

ecoH20 bottles represent a huge step forward in the global effort to protect the environment. Approved by the FDA for direct food contact RPET is completely safe and can be recycled like traditional plastic bottles.

Currently, only about 33% of all plastic beverage containers in the U.S. are recycled. Most of these containers are made from PET, which is the clear plastic polymer used in package and container manufacturing. In an effort to lessen our impact on the environment, we are commited to finding ways to improve our products and position ourselves as an industry leader.

We carry six different sized bottles ranging from the small 8 oz. to the large 50.7 oz. Most customers prefer the 16.9 oz. bottle. If you are unsure of what size would be appropriate for you, please ask your customer service representative to offer suggestions.

There are many markets and applications for used PET bottles but only now has the process been refined to arrive at a product consistent and pure enough to be approved by the FDA for direct food contact. Bottles enter the recycling stream where they are ground, washed and separated from cap and label material. The real innovation comes from the subsequent treatment of the washed PET flake where the plastic is exposed to special machines that use continuous heat and vacuum extractors to remove contaminants. The result is a consistent, clean, safe and more environmental friendly packaging alternative.

As of January 2010, Emerald Valley H2O water is bottled in 100% Recycled ecoH20 PET 1 making it a completely safe and renewable product. Completing the recycling life cycle and eliminating our dependence on petroleum. All of our bottles are manufactured in the USA (compared to most plastic bottles which are manufactured and shipped from China)
