Native Waters Signs Distribution Partnership with g. housen

Native Waters LLC, has signed a partnership with beverage distributor g. housen of Brattleboro, Vermont, ensuring that Native Water, a sustainable bottled water, is now available to consumers in Western Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.

Founded in 1983, g. housen is a family-owned business and is the region’s leading multi-brand distributor of premium wine, beer, and soft beverages. The partnership with g. housen will allow Native Waters greater distribution throughout New England.

"We are excited about our partnership with Native Waters. Consumers are looking for earth friendly bottled water alternatives and the sustainable packaging of Native Water will be able to fit that demand. We always look for partnerships with great companies with a product we believe in. Our team looks forward to growing this brand in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Western Massachusetts," said Kevin Watterson, President of g.housen.

Locally sourced and packaged in biodegradable bottles, Native Water is 100% natural and pure, while making a minimal impact on the environment. The water is bottled in ENSO Bottles, a biodegradable PET plastic bottle, made with 25% recycled content.

"The opportunities that g. housen can create for Native Water are quite vast," said Rodger Cohen, co- founder of Native Waters. "The company has a solid track record for introducing new products to the marketplace. With their distribution partnerships, we are confident all consumers in these areas will have the opportunity to purchase bottled water that makes little environmental impact."

Native Water is sourced from Chester Hill Spring, and Berkshire Springs, both located in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts. The water flows naturally through sand, clay and rocks, and provides Native Water with spring water exceedingly low in mineral and dissolved solid content.

In Western Massachusetts and Vermont, Native Water is currently available in a host of food markets and schools, including: Berkshire Co-op Market, Healthy Living Market, Guidos Fresh Marketplace, River Valley Market, Springfield College, Mount Holyoke College, Richmond Consolidated School, The South Hadley School District, and many other locations. A full list of retail locations can be found at: www.earthfriendlybottle.com/Native_Waters-Locations.html

ENSO bottles with Ecopure are the only PET bottles biodegradable in aerobic, and anaerobic environments. They are not OXO-degradable or made out of PLA.(corn based) plastics, and can be recycled along with the standard PET recycling stream.

By combining the locally sourced water with the ENSO earth-friendly, biodegradable bottles, Native Waters hopes to be part of the solution in reducing plastic bottle pollution in both landfill and ocean environments..
