With 85% less plastic than conventional bottled water, the HappyWater ® WaterBox™ not only dramatically reduces the environmental footprint of water packaging, but also improves the very way consumers can integrate our premium, naturally functional water into their everyday lives:
- chill it
- take it
- share it
- store it
- recycle it
- freeze it
HappyWater ® is a perfectly alkaline, unique blend of spring and mineral waters, which provide a rare combination of minerals necessary for proper health and revitalization:
- Lithium
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Sodium
- 7.4 pH
Leading Brands Chairman & CEO Ralph McRae said: "This is a game-changer for both our company and the fast growing $100 Billion USD-plus, world-wide bottled water industry. Over the past 18 months we searched the globe for the optimum technology to deliver our unique, functional water in the most environmentally responsible packaging possible. The HappyWater ® WaterBox™ is the culmination of those efforts. It not only uses dramatically less plastic and overall packaging per liter, it is completely recyclable and returnable to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs. It provides a much more sensible alternative to bulky, BPA-laden 5 gallon water jugs, saves considerably on the hidden costs of water coolers and provides infinitely greater flexibility. We are proud to offer our award-winning, naturally alkaline, naturally functional Canadian lithia water in a large-format, truly portable and environmentally-friendly package."
