Plastic bottles have come a long way in recent years. Consumer demand for more choice, along with an increased focus on environmental issues, has caused businesses to embrace innovation and re-evaluate their options when it comes to product packaging.
The UK Plastics Pact set out several goals for businesses to achieve by 2025, including for ‘100% of plastic packaging to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable’ and for ‘an average of 30% recycled content across all plastic packaging’. Many high-profile companies have signed the pact, leading to a shift in packaging standards.
As a supplier of bottled water, Water Direct has prioritised and exceeded these goals, using only plastic bottles that are 100% recyclable, with a minimum of 50% recycled plastic.
But recycled plastic is just one option…
In addition to this, within the last year alone, Water Direct has also introduced several new options for consumers to choose from, including biodegradable bottles, plant-based cartons, and recyclable cans.
