Re:Water, the world’s first water bottles made from 100% recycled aluminium, will be available in Marks & Spencer stores from January 2024 in both ‘Still Spring Water’ and ‘Pure Sparkling Water’ variants. With packaging and sustainability an increasing focus within the grab and go sector, Re:Water bottles can be refilled, reused, resealed and once finished with, disposed of through standard domestic recycling. As the bottle is produced from 100% recycled aluminium it generates 95% less energy than new aluminium products and was developed in response to the growing global problem of single-use materials. As well as being a genuine alternative to plastic bottles, Re:Water bottles also help to keep the water cooler and fresher for longer.
With eight million tonnes of plastic being dumped in our oceans every year, the drive for retail stores to offer more sustainable food and drink packaging options is growing as consumers become more environmentally conscious. From the 2nd January 2024, M&S customers will be able to grab a Re:Water bottle from the chilled section of Marks and Spencer stores.
Ben Richardson, co-founder of Re:Water is thrilled that their bottles will be stocked in Marks and Spencer:
“It is an honour that Re:Water bottles will now be available in one of the most prestigious and well-loved supermarkets within the UK. This is a giant step for Re:Water as a brand as it will allow even more people to purchase a sustainable option and help reduce the amount of single use plastic that is being dumped into our precious eco-system. We are excited for the journey ahead and we hope that as many people as possible join the guilt-free water movement.”
Re:Water is now available in over 3500 locations across the UK, from National Trust properties to David Lloyd Gyms, Edinburgh Castle to The Eden Project. So far, Re:Water has helped 132 companies on their journey to be free of single use plastic. Re:Water has been the preferred supplier to some of the most recognised global sustainability events, including the G7 Summit in Cornwall and COP26 in Glasgow, as well as The Queen's Jubilee celebrations and The Kings Coronation concert.
All of this means that ReWater has so far removed over 125 tonnes (125,000kgs) of single use plastic from the UK supply chain so far this year. At an average of 8.5 tonnes a month (that's the weight of 2 killer whales!).
