Bottled water brand Icelandic Glacial specializes in "naturally alkaline, super-premium spring water" that is offered at an accessible price point. Addressing growing consumer desires for sustainable bottled water alternatives -- a result of ongoing plastic pollution -- the brand recently launched a new initiative that aims to reduce plastic production with two new packaging formats.
By 2021, Icelandic Glacial is planning to replace all existing PET packaging with "50% post-consumer recycled plastic (rPET)" while also launching aluminum can packaging for both its still and sparkling water products. The brand is also planning to launch a "new 3-liter packaging option for the refrigerator or counter along with a 20-liter packaging option for food service," all aiming to reduce the company's environmental footprint and bringing it closer to carbon neutrality.
