Sustainable Bottled Water

Proud Source Water Offers Its Water in Infinitely Recycled Aluminum

— April 21, 2021 — Eco
Proud Source Water offers the US' "most sustainable and transparent" water, with each bottle of its natural alkaline spring water packaged in infinitely recyclable aluminum.

Not only that, Proud Source Water intentionally sources its water from small towns across the United States to help create more jobs within their communities. The company also uses solar power and gravity-led filtration methods in all of its facilities, which don't require any electricity. To ensure it's not taking too much from natural resources, Proud Source Water pledges to "never bottle more than 5% of the alkaline spring output."

With its sustainable practices, the company hopes to meet a 2030 goal of diverting 200 million bottles from landfills and donate $5 million back to environmental causes.
