our bottles have no ink and are instead printed with a process known as dhp or direct hot printing
where the colour is an inorganic material i.e. colored glass, which during the manufacturing process
merges with the glass bottle and that makes it extremely environmentally friendly.
our boxes are made from paper
we are committed to not use single use plastics
we are trying
approximately 8 million tonnes of plastic ending up in the ocean each year
in response to the damaging impact that plastic bottles have on the environment we use glassbottles
glass is better for the planet. made from all-natural, sustainable raw materials, glass is a 100% recyclable
and can be recycled endlessly with no loss in quality or purity.
here are a few more reasons why glass is better for the environment and for you:
roughly 2.7 million tons of plastic are used each year worldwide for disposable drinking bottles.
less than 1% of all plastic is recycled, meaning 99% of plastics are incinerated or end up in a landfill.
nearly 8 out of every 10 bottles end up in a landfill. once there, it takes over 500 years for plastic bottles to break down.
plastic is bad for our planet and uses up valuable resources
glass does not contain any harmful chemicals such as bpa, pvc, or polycarbonate, so nothing can leach into your water from a glass bottle.
you can save our earth’s resources by using an eco-friendly, reusable, recyclable glass water bottle.
glass is taste-neutral, it allows you to drink a pure-tasting water
