Company Description

WE’RE MORE THAN JUST A BOTTLED WATER COMPANY.

WE’RE RECYCLERS. ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM SOLVERS. COMMITTED TO RECYCLING 100% OF OUR PLASTIC, AGAIN AND AGAIN.

In 1995, our decision to start up a Canadian family-run company with a focus on sustainability just came natural. Since then, Ice River has been dedicated to producing the highest quality, environmentally responsible bottled water out there.

Ice River Sustainable Solutions is known for our forward-thinking innovation in eco-friendly design. By shifting our focus to the plastic bottles that contained our natural spring water, we came up with new ways to recycle 100% of the bottle – right down to the cap. Even when we were told it couldn’t be done. Our green initiatives and our ambition grew from there.
