Sustainabllity
Icelandic Glacial™ was the world’s first bottled water to be certified as CarbonNeutral® for both product and operation.
Since Icelandic Glacial’s inception, sustainability has been in our DNA. Icelandic Glacial has worked with The CarbonNeutral Company, a leading carbon emissions consultant, since 2007, and has been certified CarbonNeutral for both product and operation – an unprecedented move in the beverage industry.
Icelandic Glacial made a commitment to reach a target of net-zero Greenhouse Gas emissions, and continuously carry that out through a combination of internal reductions, environmental instruments and investments in renewable energy and reforestation projects around the world.
GREEN ENERGY SOURCES
Taking advantage of Iceland’s natural energy sources, our state of the art facility is fueled entirely by geothermal and hydroelectric power. The water collected flows directly from the source to our bottling plant, located at the edge of the Ölfus Spring.
RECYCLABLE PACKAGING
Icelandic Glacial’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in the bottle and cardboard packaging, both of which are 100% recyclable. In addition to our glass line, we offer BPA-free high-grade rPET bottles, that will be increasing to 50% post-consumer recycled plastic by 2021.
GREEN ENERGY SOURCES
Icelandic Glacial™ takes immense pride in running a completely sustainable operation fueled entirely by geothermal and hydroelectric power. At 7,688 sq. ft., the world class facility is one of the world’s greenest and cleanest. Fully automated and hands-free, the facility is capable of producing up to 30,000 bottles per hour. The filling process takes place in a clean room environment held to the highest laboratory standards. The water for Icelandic Glacial™ travels directly from the underground spring into the bottling facility, which maintains a positive air pressure to impede the outside air. The first time Icelandic Glacial™ encounters the open air is when the bottle seal is broken. Nothing is ever added or taken away.
