Bottled water companies are constantly trying to set themselves apart in a market flooded with options. The latest to hit the shelves is BIOTA Rocky Mountain Spring Water, which is distributed in biodegradable plastic bottles made from corn.
In New York City, a local company is capitalizing on what has been called some of the best tap water in the country with Tap’dNY – tap water that’s filtered and distributed within the city. Tap’dNY encourages New Yorkers to drink straight from the tap and purchase local bottled water only when necessary.
Meanwhile, in Florida, the state budget proposal includes a 6-cent pergallon tax on all water drawn from aquifers by commercial bottlers, which could funnel up to $56 million into state coffers in the first year.
