NewswireToday: Promoters Go Green with Eco-Friendly Park City IceWater High pH Bottled Water for Concerts and Events

Filed under: Earth 911, Press Releases - January 24, 2008

Due to increased environmental awareness, concert promoters and managers are looking at new eco-friendly bottled water packaging. Venues are typically littered with empty P.E.T. water bottles after an event and this packaging cuts down on the litter.

Park City IceWater located in Park City, Utah is announces a nationwide introduction of the first Environmentally Friendly Bottled Water packaging. The world is at a time when the bottled water industry has been criticized for its impact on the environment and global warming. The country is begging for bottled water that is pure and has a packaging that produces a smaller impact on our environment.

Celebrity and talent promoters and managers from rock to country, concert venue and state fairs organizers are contacting Park City IceWater about providing their eco-friendly water bottle packaging at events. Many venues are adding recycle bins but unfortunately water bottles are filling up trash cans at those events and at schools and colleges. This unique packaging has an answer for that problem. Some venues originally thought they may have a problem selling another brand of water due to the very strong “soda contract” that some have with Coke and Pepsi. But the progressive promoters realized that Park City IceWater is bagged water, similar to kids juice drinks, not bottled water in the traditional P.E.T. bottle!

According to their website, Park City IceWater has less impact on the environment than traditional P.E.T. packaging. The patented GlacierPak requires 75 percent less energy to produce, however it is not biodegradable but it is recyclable. It does pay to recycle plastic bottles. According to Earth 911, they are used to make hundreds of everyday products, ranging from fleece jackets and carpeting to detergent bottles and lumber for outdoor decking. Every ton of plastic bottles recycled saves about 3.8 barrels of oil. The environmental impact is really if the package gets thrown away.

Reports show that unfortunately 77 percent of all PET water bottles end up in landfills, and if our packaging gets disposed of, it occupies 96 percent less landfill space. In 2006, it is estimated that Americans drank about 167 bottles of water each, with only 23 percent being recycled, that leaves 38 billion water bottles in landfills. It actually takes 27 semi-truckloads of empty P.E.T. bottles to equal 1 semi-truckload of empty Park City GlacierPaks. You can see the impact that Park City IceWater eco-packaging will provide to help the environment.

The key angle is that this packaging creates less pollution, reduces waste and protects our increasingly fragile ecosystem. Many people are very sensitive to “earth friendly” products and the press has been relentless at reporting the negatives in the industry. This product answers those calls.

Unlike a great number of bottled water brands, Park City IceWater originates from a subterranean trapped melted glacier, located 2,300 feet below the rugged ski mountains in Utah that has been protected and preserved for more that 20,000 years. “Water the way nature intended”.

Park City IceWater is extracted at a cold 41 degrees Fahrenheit through state of the art equipment thus ensuring purity and the finest quality. Park City IceWater is packed in flexible GlacierPak pouches rather than in plastic bottles. This environmentally friendly package consumes 96 percent less waste and requires 75 percent less energy to produce. This revolutionary and innovative product is the “GREEN” solution to the bottled water industry.

The air tight vacuum seal during the manufacturing process keeps the water in its original state for years. There is no expiration date on the pouch, and the water tastes just as good years from now as the day it was produced. The GlacierPak pouch is lined with a proprietary composite material that eliminates toxins from leaching into the water unlike the standard PET plastic bottle. The pouches have a “no spill” drinking spout and can also be frozen, which is a great advantage for outdoor activities.

Alkaline vs. Acidity: Why is alkaline water so important? Park City IceWater provides the perfect solution to health concerns with a natural 7.9 pH, which is a higher alkalinity. Other bottled water on your grocery store shelf is reported to have pH levels below the neutral 7.0 pH, some even being as low as 5.5 pH. Anything below 7.0 pH is likely acidic. Science has determined that disease can not survive in an alkaline environment. The purpose of alkaline water for your health is not only hydration, but also to help flush the body of acidic wastes and toxins. There is a lot of research showing that diet is extremely important to control acidity in our bodies. The water we drink should help us slow the process of acidic build up by removing it, not by adding to it. So, we must choose only pure water with an alkaline pH for maximum health, such as Park City IceWater.

What’s in Your Water? All water is not created equal and therefore it is extremely important to understand the unique characteristics of Park City IceWater. First of all, our source has been preserved and protected for more than 20,000 years in a subterranean limestone vault that is nearly a mile under ground in the ski mountains of Utah. This melted glacier has never been exposed to the ravages of man including nuclear testing and all the other unnatural toxins. Some companies use reverse osmosis as a purification process that removes all important minerals resulting in “dead water.” To understand the value of pure natural unaltered drinking water you must understand the phenomena that Park City IceWater is presenting to the world.

You can freeze this water in the ice chest and avoid buying ice. Then you have cold ice water as it melts. The patented no-spill top does not leak if you set the package on its side. They are flexible and can fit easily in a gym bag for workouts, or in a pocket by bikers, golfers, etc.

School districts are starting to offer Park City Ice Water in the lunch program to give students a choice instead of sugary drinks, and distributors are starting to stock stores nationwide. Upscale hotel chains are considering offering our environmentally friendly packaging to their guests in each hotel room, instead of water shipped all the way from the French Alps, thus saving on the footprint of delivery.
