"We are excited to partner with an innovative and exciting new company, Nature's Bottles(TM), to promote one of the most important and socially relevant causes that face our future generations," said Art McMaster, President and CEO of the Miss America Organization. "Nature's Bottles(TM) uses biodegradable materials to make their bottles, helping to eliminate plastic water bottles, and we know that with their extraordinary vision, they can help change the future."
Approximately 2.5 billion barrels of oil are used for making plastics every year and more than 60 million plastic, petroleum-based water bottles end up in landfills every day. That's almost 40 billion annually, and they will last for centuries. Nature's Bottles(TM) offers a better solution to a most urgent problem.
"We are proud to have Miss America serve as our Go Green spokesperson to promote this message across the globe," said Doug Ivey, President of Nature's Bottles(TM). "Our plant-based plastic bottle is made from Ingeo(TM), which is derived from 100 percent annually renewable resources and is the world's first biopolymer that shows a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions."
Together, the Miss America Organization and Nature's Bottles(TM) are committed to helping our planet sustain a clean environment and are proving that Green is Gorgeous!
