BOTTLED WATER'S ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS A FOCUS FOR EARTH DAY International Bottled Water Association NEWS RELEASE May 8, 2017 Alexandria, VA - Actions that bottled water companies continue to take to reduce their environmental footprint are highlighted on Earth Day, the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) announced today. "We agree with the organizers of Earth Day that education is the foundation for progress, which is why IBWA is taking this opportunity to educate the public about the bottled water industry's continued efforts to reduce the impact of its products and its dedication to protecting our environment and natural resources," says Jill Culora, vice president of communications for IBWA. Some of these measures include: · Lightweighting PET plastic packaging. With an average weight of 9.25 grams per 16.9 ounce single-serve container, bottled water uses one-third the amount of PET it takes to make soda and other drink containers, which need to be thicker due to carbonation and manufacturing processes and weigh, on average, 23.9 grams. · Reducing water used in production facilities. On average, it takes only 1.32 liters of water to produce 1 liter of finished bottled water (including the liter of water consumed). This is the lowest water-use ratio of any packaged beverage product. · Using less energy. On average, only 0.24 mega joules of energy are used to produce 1 liter of bottle of water - the lowest amount compared to any packaged drink. · Providing consumers with packaging that is 100 percent recyclable (even the caps). · Entering into partnerships with stakeholders to educate consumers and increase recycling rates. · Home and office delivery 3- and 5-gallon plastic bottled water containers are returned to the plant, sanitized, and then re-used30-50 times before they are removed from the market and recycled. · Making PET plastic bottles from recycled plastic (rPET) - which uses 8

BOTTLED WATER'S IMPORTANT ROLE IN TIMES OF EMERGENCIES The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) today launched a new video on its BottledWaterMatters YouTube channel called "Bottled Water - Always there when you need it," which tells the story of the vital role bottled water plays in times of natural disasters and other emergencies. Late summer and early fall are typically a busy period for hurricanes and other forms of severe weather, and this new video serves as a reminder for people to take a moment to re-assess their risks and update hurricane kits and emergency plans. Being prepared in advance of severe weather means stocking up on emergency supplies, including non-perishable food, drinking water, batteries, etc., in sufficient quantities to last at least 72 hours. FEMA advises that the safest, most reliable emergency drinking water is commercially purchased bottled water. And, FEMA recommends at least one gallon of water per person per day, for at least three days. "The bottled water industry has always been at the forefront of relief efforts before and during natural disasters. In fact, in advance of expected events, such as hurricanes, IBWA member companies have often run their filling lines overtime to make sure that safe, convenient, and reliable bottled water is at a hurricane landfall site when people need it the most," says Chris Hogan, IBWA Vice-President of Communications. "It's important for people to understand that bottled water is available in times of emergency because the industry is strong and viable throughout the year." Continued volatility in weather across the nation only reinforces the importance of always being prepared for unexpected and dangerous weather. "History teaches that awareness and preparation can reduce the impact of a disaster or other emergency, such as a hurricane, floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and boil alerts. Families, individuals, and businesses who know their vulnerability and what
