April 10 2007 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Seawright Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB:SWRI), owner of one of the most
prolific natural springs on the Eastern Seaboard, today announced
its new corporate policy that prescribes ecologically responsible
and sustainable business operations. This policy focuses the
company�s efforts especially on a commitment to use recyclable and
biodegradable materials and alternative fuels, where possible and
available, in the packaging and shipping of its Seawright Springs
Premium Natural Spring Water product. More specifically, Seawright
Holdings is announcing that it intends to be one of the first
bottled water companies to offer its product in a biodegradable
bottle. Currently Seawright Water is offered in its own proprietary
design bottle. In the 1st quarter of 2008 this bottle and all
packaging will be converted to biodegradability. �Seawright
Holdings, as the owner of the pristine Seawright Springs, is
reminded every day of the value of responsible stewardship of the
environment,� said Joel Sens, President and CEO of Seawright
Holdings, Inc. "As new technologies emerge and become available for
the bottled water industry, we pledge to be early adopters of any
of them that will reduce waste, greenhouse gasses and our
dependence of fossil fuels. We are making a product available for a
consumer market that demands that their high-end quality products
are as ecologically sustainable as possible. " Biodegradable
bottles are particularly important to Seawright. The company
continues to closely watch the development of several new earth
friendly technologies for bottling. Specifically, Seawright is
intensely monitoring the progress of a biodegradable bottle made
from an organic, renewable corn based resin that requires about 20%
to 30% less energy to manufacture and contributes only half the
carbon dioxide than plastics made from petrochemicals.
Additionally, these corn based bottles are fully compostable and
will degrade in a commercial composing facility into harmless water
and organic material in 75 to 80 days. On another front, Seawright
is encouraging its suppliers to favor environmentally sustainable
and renewable technologies in their products and processes, such as
the use of biofuels in shipping and transportation. About Seawright
