The average person uses 167 single use water bottles each year. 91% of all the plastic produced is NEVER recycled. We can all make a difference by choosing to reuse. All of our new stock of bottles is 100% free from plastic packaging. Our older stock (currently in the SALE section) has biodegradeable plastic inner baggies. We have been working with our supply chain to make our organisation zero waste and we are very nearly there. Our bottles are sent out to customers in paper mailing bags or cardboard boxes from sustainable sources and, ultimately our bottles and polypropylene caps are 100% recyclable. We will update you on our Zero Waste progress over time. We welcome feedback and if you have any thoughts, suggestions or ideas on how we can improve, we would love to hear them. We are supplying lots of organisations with stainless steel bottles as more businesses are taking responsibility for elimination of single use plastic water bottles and installing filtered water fountains. #zerostartswithone
