TULSA, Okla., Oct. 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Management Team of Naturally Iowa, Inc. (Pink Sheets:NLIA) made an important announcement today at their new corporate headquarters. After acquiring Totally Green LLC, a Georgia-based company earlier this year (a company that pioneered research and development of the ORCA Green Machine), Naturally Iowa, Inc. will now be known as Totally Green, Inc.
By combining a fully compostable water bottle with the ORCA (Organic Refuse Conversion Alternative) GreenTM Machine, Totally Green, Inc. has created the world's first closed-loop composting system, which means that it has the ability to fully compost its water bottles along with food waste, into a liquid effluent, called "compost tea" within 48 hours in an, "earth-friendly", and cost-effective way.
In 2004, Naturally Iowa, Inc. started as the producer of the world's first IngeoTM milk bottle and has now evolved into another first ... Green Bottle Spring Water and ORCA GreenTM Machine. The combination of the two companies under the Totally Green, Inc. name underscores their new approach to the ever-growing world-wide challenge posed by food waste and oil-based plastic bottles in landfills. A wide range of businesses and other "closed loop sites" are now able to utilize Totally Green, Inc.'s compostable water bottles along with an on-site ORCA GreenTM Machine method for composting the bottles and food waste, which eliminates the increasing environmental hazards of waste food storage on site, along with the release of methane gas in landfills, while reducing tipping and hauling fees.
Totally Green, Inc. is now headquartered in the Corporate Woods Business Park located at 4500 S. 129th E. Ave. in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and manufactures their ORCA Green Machine in a factory in Tulsa.
"With Totally Green, Inc., we now have a company name that is more reflective of our entire business," said Rob Phillips, President of Totally Green. "Our new headquarters at Corporate Woods, our factory, and expanded professional staff are extensions of our company's commitment to maintain our leadership in protecting our environment with our innovative product line."
A wide variety of organizations nationwide are currently using Totally Green products in their daily operations including government agencies, public and private companies, and university campuses. This system is ideal for businesses with a controlled environment where the consumer is likely to purchase, use and dispose of the product in the same place such as restaurants, stadiums, hospitals, universities, theme parks, military bases, special events, and the hospitality industry.
William Horner, Naturally Iowa's CEO and Founder, and current CEO of Totally Green, Inc. stated that "Totally Green, Inc. is fulfilling the original vision that our organization had at its inception ... to find a way to solve major environmental problems while providing superior products to the marketplace." He concluded his remarks by thanking stockholders in attendance who have continued to believe that solutions could be found while building a financially strong company structure that permits profitability through innovation.
