World Enterprises, a Los Angeles-based better-for-you beverage company committed to creating healthy drinks, announces the launch of O.N.E. Water, a sustainable alternative to plastic bottled water. With the growing concern about the health risks of bisphenol A (BPA) leaching from plastic as well as the alarming abundance of plastic bottles in landfills, O.N.E. Water offers consumers a healthy, smart, eco-conscious option.

O.N.E. Water

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 (for a list of communities that currently accept cartons for recycling, go to RecycleCartons). 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.

The 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. Additionally, O.N.E. has committed to donating 100% of the proceeds to a variety of non-profit organizations. Each year, O.N.E. will select 10-15 non-profits to receive the funds from the sales. The list of charities is far-reaching and ranges from disaster relief to cancer research and education; you can get involved by visiting OneWater to vote for your favorite charity.

Pretty great, don’t you agree?
