MARION, NC / ACCESS Newswire / August 12, 2025 / Marion, North Carolina - Greene Concepts Inc. (OTCID:INKW), a premium U.S.-based bottled water and beverage company, announces its exploration of opportunities to help mitigate the growing water crisis across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). With much of the region facing severe and worsening water scarcity, the company is offering scalable clean-water solutions-including bulk refill infrastructure and deep-aquifer sourcing-to support humanitarian, municipal, and emergency response efforts.
According to the World Bank, MENA is the most water-stressed region on Earth, with 12 of the 17 most water-scarce countries located in the area. Smartwater Magazine projects that by 2050, all MENA countries will face "extremely high" water stress, driven by climate change, rabid urbanization, and declining groundwater reserves.
Refill Station Capabilities
Greene Concepts operates a large-scale bottled water facility in Marion, NC, supported by a protected deep artesian aquifer and a high-volume commercial refill station capable of dispensing tens of thousands of gallons of naturally filtered, mineral-rich water daily. Originally designed for U.S.-based tanker distribution, the system is now under evaluation for global deployment and export.
Target applications for the refill station include:
Bulk water shipments to MENA ports
Support for NGOs and humanitarian relief operations
Emergency water supply in drought-stricken or infrastructure-limited regions
The company is in discussions with containerized infrastructure providers, global logistics partners, and aid organizations to replicate this model in high-risk countries such as Jordan, Iraq, Yemen, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
"The Middle East's water shortage is not just an environmental challenge-it's a humanitarian emergency," said Lenny Greene, CEO of Greene Concepts. "Our refill station model, combined with our protected aquifer, can deliver clean, sustainable water where it's urgently needed."
Mr. Greene adds, "Water is a human right. Whether in North Carolina or abroad, we're committed to expanding access to safe water in regions suffering from aquifer depletion and rising demand."
