Flow Sparkling Mineral Spring Water will be available in 300ml aluminum bottles, featuring a range of flavors including: OG, Blackberry + Hibiscus, Lemon + Ginger, and Cucumber + Mint. This new offering brings a unique blend of premium carbonated mineral spring water in both original and organic flavours, all with zero sugar and zero calories.

“We are thrilled to introduce Flow Sparkling Mineral Spring Water to our lineup,” said Nicholas Reichenbach, Founder and CEO of Flow. “This launch represents the next step in our evolution, enhancing our product portfolio with a sustainable and innovative offering that caters to the growing demand for premium, health-conscious beverages. Our new aluminum bottles not only deliver a high-end design experience but also support our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility as the highest-scoring B Corporation in the water industry, as they are made from 70% recycled aluminum, use 30% less aluminum than competing formats and require 60% less energy to produce than traditional cans and bottles, thus reducing carbon emissions. This ties into Flow’s overall commitment to operating carbon neutral and reducing emissions across our supply chain.”

This cutting-edge and highly-sustainable packaging not only preserves the crisp, clean taste of Flow, it enhances the premium drinking experience our customers have come to expect. The proprietary, uniquely designed bottles were developed in partnership with Kingston Aluminum Technology Inc. (“KAT”), a brand that like Flow, continues to lead in environmental, social, and governance responsibility while offering a sophisticated and premium product. KAT will be producing these bottles exclusively for Flow branded products.

The introduction of Flow Sparkling Mineral Spring Water marks a significant milestone for Flow’s co-packing business as well. The Company will be installing a new production line capable of packing its own aluminum bottles and co-packing for other brands, underscoring Flow’s growth and innovation within the beverage industry.
