Spa’s recyclable r-PET bottles
Use of r-PET, coupled with investment in a new packaging system, has resulted in savings and simpler re-use of raw materials.
Since 2011, Spa has incorporated 25 percent recycled PET (r-PET) into its recyclable bottles for sparkling water. Annual savings in the Benelux amount to 555 tons of virgin PET. The new transparent design of the bottle, which is 2 grams lighter, makes it easier to re-use the raw material. Labels made of recycled paper are printed with vegetable-based ink. Conservation: 508 trees annually. The company uses a CO2 calculator and green electricity. Almost 20 million euros have been invested over the last two years in industrial innovation of the packaging system. These investments align with the company’s sustainability policy, which increasingly considers both economic and environmental parameters.
