Just got back from the friendly south. Our show was a huge success. Met a ton of interesting people and companies. Got a chance to share our product line, which was really well received. A big thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement. We were really blown away with the reception that our products received. It was so good to see that people genuinely love what we are producing. The comments, interest and orders we a huge shot in the arm. We also greatly appreciate those who support our mission to create products that in some way help our environment. It was thrilling to see all the support around reuse, and to truly connect with people who want to leave a positive legacy.

Looking forward to continuing the conversation and growing those relationships. On to Dallas.

PURE Glass Bottle, Inc. has become Part of  the Precidio Group of Companies, located in Toronto Canada, a company with worldwide distribution, in hydration and related products.  Marc Heinke, President of Precidio and Walt Himelstein, President of Pure Glass Bottle, Inc., located in Owings Mills, Maryland USA began discussions about joining forces in March 2012, after meeting at the International Housewares Show in Chicago.  Intrigued by the Patent Pending coating and process developed by Mr. Himelstein, Mr. Heinke tested the product, investigated opportunities to position the product in the market place by developing a line of reusable glass bottles to meet the needs of different consumers.  The company has plans to take the product “global” in 2013. Over the past 6 months, the Precidio’s team of designers and marketing teams have been busy developing new designs, and laying out a strategy roll out of new products over the coming year.

 

Mr. Himelstein stated, “Affiliating with a company like Precidio Design, and having a partner like Marc, is a dream come true.  His expertise in manufacturing, distribution and marketing will allow us to develop a comprehensive line of safe reusable glass drinking bottles, that can be carried outside of the home without fear of injury or spills should the glass bottle break.”  Marc Heinke stated, “I have been looking for an opportunity to develop a hydration product unique to the reusable glass bottle market. When I saw the PURE Glass Bottle demonstrated at the Home Show, it was clear to me that Walt developed a solution to a problem that industry leaders had been searching for.”  Being marketed under the name PURE SAFE-SHELL, reusable glass bottles are now selling in  stores in the US and Canada and we are ramping up our distribution network to launch our new product line.  In addition, manufacturers from Africa, Italy, France andEngland have approached the company to see if the SAFE-SHELL Technology coating can be applied to their glass products. Mr. Heinke stated, “It is clear that we have solved a problem in the market place. Now we hope to get it into the hands of consumers throughout North America, so they can enjoy the crisp clean taste of their favorite beverage in a reusable glass bottle, in the car, at the office, on the tennis court, by the pool. No other reusable glass bottle offers the advantages of a clear non-removable coating that is BPA free and a safety coating that protects the consumer should the glass break”.

Spice Up Your Water

Do you think water is a “boring” beverage?  Is it your first beverage choice when you are thirsty? Most of us reach for a soda, lemonade, or other beverage before going to the water “tap”.  Well, water is not boring anymore.  We can jazz it up to create our own healthy Flavored Water! With a little creativity you can mix and match flavors to create an infinite number of beverage choices using all of the many varieties of flavors in the world.

You may not know this but it is a scientific fact that more things dissolve in water than any other liquid. That is why water is known as the ‘Universal Solvent’.  You can change the taste of water by adding an infinite variety of “flavoring agents”–fruit, vegetable, protein drink, cinnamon stick, or flavoring extract. Your choices are limited only by your imagination.

But enough science. Let’s get down to the good stuff, mixing in flavors to your PURE Glass Water bottle….Flavor Enhanced Water! Following the recipe and you will create the most successful (flavorful) result.

 Today we are going to make Lemon Cucumber water. Ingredients: ½ Lemon – 5 slices of Cucumber – ice cubes – 500 ml of tap water.  (By the way, is a cucumber a fruit or vegetable? read this- http://www.buzzle.com/articles/is-cucumber-a-fruit-or-vegetable.html)

Ok, to begin….Start with an empty Pure Glass Bottle.  Cut lemon & cucumber into circular slices to expose water the largest surface area to get the greatest flavor.

Add 10-12 ice cubes to the lemon/cucumber mix, then add water and fill bottle to the top.

Put top on bottle and shake the bottle by turning over the bottle 4-6 times. This method allows for the flavoring of the fruit to spread through the water evenly.

Then drink as required by thirst!

Now you are asking yourself what is the benefit drinking lemon and cucumber in water beyond the great taste? Here’s the answer:

And remember you can refill your PURE Bottle at least 2-3 times or more during the same day and enjoy the benefits of the flavor of the fruit.

-Next time we are going to talk about water and little known facts.

 

Keep It Pure

Welcome!

Welcome to the PURE glass bottle blog. We wanted to do something a little bit different in this space. Obviously we have products that we want to sell. They are products that we strongly believe in and we feel that they are unique. So we will be sharing news and information as it relates to these products.

But more than that, we want to use this space to have real and meaningful conversations. There are many issues around hydration and the safety of different materials and chemicals that are associated with manufacturing, processing and delivery of these items.

We want to be able to offer factual information from many different sides of each conversation. We want to stay clear of fear tactics and deal with the facts. More than just selling products we want to bring some truth, clarity and insights to the issues.

We will be reaching out to many different sources in getting to the relevant facts that affect us all. We will be looking to scientists, among whom we have Walt Himelstein who invented the PURE glass bottle and who has over 23 years as an environmental chemist. In addition to Walt, we have the experience of Marc Heinke. Marc has been in the business of design, development and manufacturing of hydration products for over 25 years. He brings with him a ton of diverse experience in a multitude of materials and manufacturing processes.

And we will be you, the readers of this blog. We hope that you will reach out and share your experiences, comments and even concerns. Together we can get to the heart of each issue. We can filter fact and fiction. We can clarify real concerns and issues from hearsay and pseudo news.

So let’s get to know each other and let the conversations begin.
