Totally Green Initiates Direct-to-Business Distribution of IngeoTM Green Bottle Spring Water

Friday 29. April 2011 - Totally Green, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: TLGN), a pioneer in organic food processing systems and compostable packaging alternatives, has partnered with Admiral Express Office Supply, Inc. to distribute Totally Green's Ingeo Green Bottle Spring Water direct to Admiral's customers. The agreement includes an earth-friendly recapture plan for proper disposal of the green bottles.

“Admiral Express offers more than 4,700 eco-friendly products to about 4,000 commercial customers across a three-state area,” said Rob Phillips, president of Totally Green. “We are piloting a direct-to-business distribution system in five markets, including Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Joplin and Springfield Missouri, and Northwest Arkansas — which includes Springdale, Fayetteville, Rogers, and Bentonville.
“Following a successful pilot, we will look to expand the platform to every major U.S. market and most Canadian markets. In fact, we are in discussions with a national office products organization that has extensive U.S. and Canadian distribution coverage.”
Admiral’s door-to-door delivery system for the Green Bottle Spring Water provides a “closed loop, end-of-life” solution for the compostable bottles, and paves the way for greater market acceptance of Totally Green’s ‘green bottle’ solution. Admiral’s network of 23 delivery trucks will pick up used green bottles concurrently with fulfilling customer orders. The bottles will then be returned to a central collection point for disposal in an eco-friendly way.
Al Yoak, the president of Admiral Express commented: “This is one of the most exciting developments we have seen for providing the convenience of bottled water, but without the environmental impact issues traditional plastic bottles create. Our customers are already embracing the program with great enthusiasm.”
