Re:Water is First in the Market with a 100% PCR Aluminum Bottle

New U.K. brand Re:Water Spring Water comes in a refillable, recyclable aluminum bottle that is said to be the first in the market to use 100% PCR content.

Re:Water chose the 100% PCR aluminum bottle because of its low carbon footprint and its ability to be refilled and reused.

Earning Metal Pack of the Year recognition in the UK Packaging Awards and described by the judges as “a total game changer in the bottled water market,” as well as “one of the most disruptive and innovative products available,” metal packaging supplier Tecnocap’s PURE 100% post-consumer recycled aluminum bottle is understandably finding great commercial success as well.

In May 2021, U.K. brand owner Sauce Connections introduced Re:Water, a refillable bottled spring water product sourced from Herefordshire, U.K.’s Berrington Water and packaged in Tecnocap’s 100% PCR aluminum bottle, which the supplier says is a world first for spring water. Under development for three years by Sauce and Berrington, the brand was created to provide consumers with a new, more environmentally friendly way of consuming bottled water.

According to Re:Water Director Matt Crocker, the name of the brand encompasses its mission statement, which is Re:Use, Re:Fill, and Re:Cycle. “A secondary reason [we chose the name] is it fits in with the email subject line Re:, or regarding,” he adds. “Regarding bottled water, we want to have an honest conversation with our users about the pros and cons of bottled water and how we can all be more environmentally aware and friendly.”

Shares Crocker, the project involved meeting three targets: to make a product that was genuinely environmentally friendly, one consumers would like drinking from, and one that was commercially viable for the full supply chain. Re:Water chose the 100% PCR aluminum bottle because of its low carbon footprint and its ability to be refilled and reused. To top the bottle, it selected a 28-mm aluminum closure that can also be easily recycled across the U.K., with no separation required.
