Greene Concepts Highlights Packaging Design and Source Integrity of Be Water(TM) Amid Industry Microplastics Discussion
MARION, NC / ACCESS Newswire / May 5, 2026 / Marion, North Carolina - Greene Concepts, Inc. (OTCID:INKW), owner and operator of a 60,000-square-foot bottling facility in Marion, North Carolina, and producer of the premium artesian spring water brand Be Water™, today provided additional context regarding product design and sourcing as ongoing research continues to evaluate microplastics across beverage categories.
Recent studies indicate that microplastic presence can originate from multiple factors across the supply chain, including source conditions, processing environments, and packaging components such as bottles, caps, and liners-framing this as a broad, industry-wide consideration. Greene Concepts previously addressed this topic in its March 2, 2026 press release highlighting research on packaging and material integrity across beverage formats.
Positioning Within the Category
Greene Concepts positions Be Water through a combination of natural sourcing and controlled packaging design, including:
Certified artesian spring water from a responsibly managed aquifer
Minimal processing with naturally occurring minerals
U.S.-based bottling at the Company's Marion, North Carolina facility
Packaging designed for durability and consistency
Be Water is packaged in a premium BPA-free 22-gram bottle, providing greater structural integrity than lower-weight formats commonly used across the category. This design is intended to reduce material stress and degradation associated with lightweight bottles while maintaining consistency throughout the product lifecycle.
Packaging and Product Integrity
Research suggests packaging characteristics-such as thickness and durability-can influence particulate release over time. Be Water's higher-weight bottle reflects a focus on quality and consistency as part of the Company's product design.
While no packaging system is without consideration, Greene Concepts prioritizes durability, simplified material structure, and controlled production standards.
Naturally Filtered Source
Be Water is sourced from artesian springs in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where water undergoes natural geological filtration prior to extraction. This results in balanced minerals-including calcium, magnesium, and silica-without the need for post-processing or mineral enhancement.
Operational Control
All products are bottled at Greene Concepts' Marion, North Carolina facility, providing direct oversight across sourcing, bottling, packaging, and quality control.

Lenny Greene, President and CEO of Greene Concepts, Inc., stated,
"Consumers are evaluating how water is sourced and packaged. Our focus is on maintaining control across that process-from the aquifer to the finished product-through both natural sourcing and packaging design. That includes deliberate decisions around materials and structure to support consistency and product integrity throughout the lifecycle."

Market Context
As research continues across the beverage industry, Greene Concepts believes its emphasis on naturally sourced water, minimal processing, and higher-integrity packaging positions Be Water as a differentiated offering within the bottled water category.
