Today, I'm joined by Clara Sieg, co-founder & CEO of Loonen.
Born from Clara's personal mission to avoid toxins in drinking water, Loonen's ultra-filtered, glass-bottled spring water emphasizes purity and transparency, rigorously tested for microplastics and PFAS.
In this episode, we discuss how water quality can influence health outcomes.
We also cover:
- The aging US water infrastructure
- National distribution and single-serve launch
- Building a heritage American beverage brand
