= Morshynska = "Morshynska" is a natural mineral water with a low level of mineralization. It flows spontaneously from springs discovered in 1879 by Boniface Stiller near the resort city of Morshyn. It is bottled at the Morshyn Mineral Water Plant Oscar, which is part of the IDS Ukraine company.

History of the Springs
Indications of the special properties of waters in Morshyn have been known since the 15th century. In 1538, the owners of Morshyn, the Branetsky nobles, became interested in the rural industry of extracting salt from the waters and received permission to open salt mines. Five mining wells were dug to extract brine, but the salt turned out to be too bitter for nutrition.

As balneological resorts gained popularity in Europe in the 19th century, the merchant Boniface Stiller drew attention to the mineral waters and brine of Morshyn. In 1877, a hydropathic establishment appeared in Morshyn. After the discovery of a new spring with potable water, the equipment of two mining wells with therapeutic water and the clearing of three springs, Morshyn became a full-fledged balneological resort.

During the world wars, the use of mineral waters in Morshyn decreased, but at the beginning of the 1950s, 9 sanatoriums were already operating.

Prior to conducting geological studies of the operational reserves of the water deposits, water was used only for the needs of resorts, however, it was found that they are sufficient for bottling as well. From 2002, Morshyn Mineral Water Plant Oscar mastered the bottling of water in plastic bottles for sale in retail chains.

Morshyn valley is a conservation area.

Characteristics
According to the European classification, "Morshynska" is a natural mineral water. This means that no changes in the mineral composition and physical structure of the water occur during the bottling of water.

In 2000, by a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the Morshyn mineral water deposit was classified as unique.

"Morshynska" is table water with a low level of mineralization (0.1-0.3 g/l). According to the approval carried out in 2004 by Institute of Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine, "Morshynska" still has a composition that allows it to be given to babies without any additional processing.

Production
Morshynska water flows spontaneously from the Morshyn deposit. Passing through mechanical sand filters, it falls into catchments (special facilities that protect springs from external influences) and flows through pipelines to the factory, where it undergoes mechanical cleaning, saturation with carbon dioxide and is bottled without changing its natural composition.

A pipeline leading to a nearby plant is connected to these underground water intakes. Due to the difference in heights, water flows through the pipes by self-flow, without the use of pumps. Thanks to self-draining, the water balance of the deposit is preserved: only water that has flowed out of the ground is used. This ensures a constant mineral composition and permanent quality.

Brand
The brand "Morshynska" belongs to the company IDS Ukraine.

"Morshynska" ranks first in terms of sales among still mineral waters in Ukraine.

Under the trademark "Morshynska" still, lightly carbonated and highly carbonated water is produced in bottles with a capacity of 0.33, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 3 and 6 liters.

"Morshynska" was a sponsor of the Seni Cup International Football League in 2012 and 2013.

"Morshynska" also has sub-brands "Morshynska plus Pine Water", "Morshynska plus AntiOxi" and "Morshynka".

Social responsibility
The company implemented several projects with the World Wildlife Fund in Ukraine (WWF). In 2017, 100,000 trees were planted in three Carpathian National Nature Parks.

Since 2019, "Save the lynx" program has been financially supported. To draw attention to the problem of the disappearance of the lynx (a red-listed species) in Ukraine, in November of the same year, a several-meter-long lynx sculpture was installed in Morshyn. The purpose of the program is to collect data on the state and number of lynx in the Carpathians and Polesia, analyze management in the places of distribution, as well as develop a national action plan for the conservation of the species.

2020 — bottle design was changed to reduce plastic use by 15%, 8.4g plastic handle was replaced with 1.3g ribbon on 3L and 6L bottles.
