Kum & Go to Debut Hiland Water in Biodegradable Bottle

Scheduled to hit store shelves in December 2009

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa -- Hiland Premium Artesian Water, exclusively available at Kum & Go convenience stores, is now available in the ENSO biodegradable plastic bottle. Hiland Premium Artesian Water is sourced from a natural artesian aquifer that is sealed and protected for purity, producing water with "perfect" PH balance.

"Kum & Go is committed to improving our environment, and we are thrilled to offer our Hiland Premium Artesian Water in an environmentally friendly bottle," said Kyle Krause, Kum & Go president and CEO. "We all need to become environmentally [image-nocss] aware and we're taking steps to ensure a better environment for us and future generations."

Hiland Premium Artesian Water will be in ENSO biodegradable bottles, which are designed to biodegrade in a landfill and can also be recycled with standard plastics.

"Having ENSO biodegradable bottles available at all 431 stores is going to have a huge impact on helping our environment," said Danny Clark, president of ENSO Bottles LLC, Phoenix.

Hiland Premium Artesian Water is scheduled to hit store shelves in December of 2009.
