Grace Bay Resorts in partnership with Provo Beverages (TC Crystal Water) is thrilled to introduce natura, a locally sourced canned water, proudly produced in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
In our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint in environmental impacts, we collaborated closely with TC Crystal Water, our local water provider, to create an alternative to plastic bottled water. From this partnership, natura was born, setting a new standard for sustainable hydration in the Turks and Caicos!
This innovative product aims to eliminate over 500,000 plastic water bottles annually from our resorts, significantly reducing plastic waste on the island.
“Natura reflects our dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the Turks and Caicos while offering a sustainable alternative to plastic bottles,” said GBR’s Director of Sustainability Jessica Frattolillo. “By collaborating with TC Crystal Water, we’ve developed a product that supports both our community and the environment. Choosing aluminum—one of the most recyclable materials on the planet—allows us to significantly lessen our ecological impact.”
Aluminum’s ability to be recycled indefinitely and its energy efficiency make it a standout choice for sustainability. Recycling aluminum uses 95% less energy than producing new material, conserving vital resources. With the support of Alucan Recycling, a dedicated local husband-and-wife team focused on waste reduction, natura water represents a significant step towards responsible consumption on the island.
“This collaboration has been essential in bringing natura to life,” said TC Crystal Water’s General Manager Dave Bozzer. “We hope to inspire other businesses to adopt eco-friendly practices and contribute to a cleaner, greener Turks and Caicos.”
As the island faces the growing challenge of plastic pollution, the launch of natura signifies an important shift. This initiative is more than just a water product; it sets a standard for sustainable practices and encourages the community and hospitality providers to reduce our carbon footprint.
With the introduction of natura, Grace Bay Resorts invites the entire Turks and Caicos community to participate in the fight against plastic waste. Together, we can protect our island’s natural beauty.
