Taste:

In a "blind taste test" of bottled waters at the 1998 and 1999 American Tasting Institute (ATI) competition, Natural Glacial Waters Inc. of British Columbia was awarded the 1998 and 1999 Gold Taste Award. Not one gold - but two! Judges concurred that both Névé and Canada Icefield were worthy of this prestigious ATI honor based on their highest quality of extreme purity and natural sweet taste.

The concentration of dissolved substances in water is expressed as Total Dissolved Solids or TDS in parts per million (ppm). TDS found in most bottled waters is typically in the range of several hundred ppm, with even higher levels (in thousands of ppm) in surface waters.

Natural Glacial water has one of the lowest TDS levels of all bottled waters in the market. It is collected at the top of the earth’s water supply - safe from unwanted minerals and contaminants found in downstream environments. Névé glacial water registers a TDS level of less than 30 ppm and Canada Icefield glacial spring water at less than 50 ppm of TDS. The low TDS levels of Névé and Canada Icefield indicate the natural purity of both water sources.

Certified Bottling Plant:

Natural Glacial Water's bottling plant is fully integrated and automated. It is vertically integrated to enable the monitoring of all aspects of production: from blow molding of the PET bottles, rinsing, filling, capping, case packing, and palletizing of finished products.

Our bottles are made of PET resin which produces bottles that are lighter than glass and virtually unbreakable. The PET bottles require one-third less energy to recycle than glass, create less solid waste per unit of content, and achieve a higher recycle rate than glass.

National Sanitation Foundation

NGW’s water is National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) source certified. NSF International is the official laboratory of the IBWA, which represents over 85% of water bottlers in the USA. NSF is accredited by both the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Dutch Council for Certification (RvC) for all NSF product certification programs. Natural Glacial Waters bottling facility is a proud member of the IBWA.
