Full company description
At Ice River Sustainable Solutions, we’re more than just a bottled water company. We’re recyclers and environmental problem solvers committed to recycling 100% of our plastic – again and again. Founded in 1995, our Canadian family-run company not only produces the highest quality, environmentally responsible bottled water available, we’re also passionate about tackling all kinds of sustainability challenges with forward-thinking innovation and eco-friendly design. That’s what led Ice River to be the first North American beverage company to build our own recycling facility – allowing us to take in 80% of Ontario’s blue box material and give that plastic new purpose. Collaborating with other companies, we produce eco-friendly packaging and products made from 100% recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic, that are 100% recyclable. We believe finding sustainable solutions takes a little innovation and a whole lot of determination.
