The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) is a trade association of companies in the bottled water industry.
It promotes bottled water through events such as National Hurricane Preparedness Week.[1] The association fights attempts to ban or tax bottled water[2] [3] [4] and is active in other legislative and regulatory areas, including drafting bottled water regulations adopted by some state governments.[5]
It has worked with the FDA in developing a Model Bottled Water Regulation (also known as the Model Code), providing specific guidance to bottlers on legal requirements, quality standards, monitoring procedures and labeling requirements. Members of the IBWA are required to abide by the Code.
