Company Summary

True2o packages delicious, purified water in reusable containers. Consumers simply reach for a True2o instead of disposable bottled water and help save the environment from single use plastic bottles. Then return the True2o bottle at any location where True2o is sold for cash back and impact rewards. We collect the bottles, reprocess, refill and restock. Consumers track impact and hydration with our app while retailers reward consumer loyalty.
