—WHAT WE FOCUS ON

The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) is the authoritative source
of information about all types of bottled waters, including spring, mineral,
purified, artesian, and sparkling. Founded in 1958, IBWA’s membership includes
U.S. and international bottlers, distributors, and suppliers.

IBWA is committed to working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
which regulates bottled water as a packaged food product, to establish
comprehensive and stringent standards for safe, high-quality bottled water. In
addition to FDA regulations, IBWA member bottlers must adhere to the IBWA
Bottled Water Code of Practice, which mandates additional standards and
practices that in some cases are more stringent than federal and state
regulations. A key feature of the IBWA Bottled Water Code of Practice is a
mandatory annual plant inspection by an independent, third-party organization.

ENVIRONMENT

The bottled water industry is a strong supporter of our environment and our
natural resources. Bottled water companies manage resources responsibly by
investing in technology and practices that improve water quality and
conservation. Bottled water’s environmental footprint is the lowest of any
packaged beverage. Research shows that bottled water is the most environmentally
responsible packaged drink choice.

RESPONSIBLE WATER USER

Did you know that out of all the water used in the United States each year,
bottled water accounts for only 0.01%? You can find numerous false reports on
the internet stating that the bottled water industry is using up available water
supplies and selling products for big profits. The truth is that the bottled
water industry cares deeply about protecting water resources generally, but
especially in the communities where they have invested.

HEALTH

One of the simplest healthy lifestyle changes you can make is to drink water
instead of sugar-sweetened beverages. In today’s on-the-go society, where most
of what we drink comes in a package, bottled water is the smart choice to help
eliminate or moderate calories, sugar, caffeine, artificial flavors or colors,
and other ingredients from your diet.

Learn More

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Clean, safe water is a critical need for citizens and first responders
immediately following a natural disaster or other catastrophic event.
Unfortunately, the availability of water from public water systems is often
compromised in the aftermath of such an event. During these times, bottled water
is the best option to deliver clean safe drinking water quickly into affected
areas.

TYPES OF BOTTLED WATER
Today, most consumers get their bottled water from these main sources:

SPRING WATER

is water derived from an underground formation from which water flows naturally
to the surface of the earth.

PURIFIED WATER

is water that has been produced by distillation, deionization, reverse osmosis,
or other suitable processes while meeting the definition of purified water in
the U.S. Pharmacopoeia.

MINERAL WATER

is natural water containing not less than 250 parts per million total dissolved
solids.

SPARKLING BOTTLED WATER

is water that, after treatment and possible replacement with carbon dioxide,
contains the same amount of carbon dioxide that is had as it emerged from the
source.

ARTESIAN WATER/ARTESIAN WELL WATER

is water from a well that taps a confined aquifer (a water-bearing underground
layer of rock or sand) in which the water level stands at some height above the
top of the aquifer.

WELL WATER

is water from a hole bored, drilled, or otherwise constructed in the ground,
which taps the water aquifer.

GET THE FACTS

The Hydration Health Center is developing tools—based on research—to help the
public understand why you should choose “water first for thirst”!


POLICIES
H2O is the simple chemical formula for water; however, running a bottled water
business—and yes, a bottled water association—involves a number of issues that
seem complicated—but the facts provided below should help explain them.

GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT

Bottled water companies work hard to protect the environment and play an
important role in promoting groundwater management.

BOTTLED WATER SAFETY & SECURITY

IBWA is dedicated to ensuring the safety and quality of bottled water. IBWA is
committed to preventing potential adverse events, both natural and man-made,
through monitoring and testing, risk assessment, appropriate controls and
procedures, and diligence.

BOTTLED WATER LABELING

IBWA supports a uniform, comprehensive system of labeling standards for bottled
water at the national level that fully protects the public health and allows
consumers easy access to clear and accurate information regarding bottled water.

BOTTLED WATER TAXATION

IBWA supports tax policies that promote bottled water job development, business
investment in communities, and the development of bottled water resources. IBWA
opposes all taxes, surcharges, fees, and levies specifically targeted against
bottled water.

BOTTLED WATER PACKAGING

IBWA is dedicated to the comprehensive management of bottled water packaging to
provide the highest quality, cost effective, and environmentally responsible
containers possible.

ENVIRONMENT

The bottled water industry demonstrates solid environmental leadership when it
comes to water conservation and efficiency. Even with continuing growth and
increased consumption, bottled water still has the smallest water and energy use
footprint of any packaged beverage.
