Water is a precious and shared resource that must be cared for in order to preserve it for future generations. Stewarding water is not something that can be done alone, and we are working with partners to help protect the sources of our spring water and the surrounding land.
Water Stewardship and Regeneration
We are proud that both our bottling sites in the UK are certified by the Alliance for Water Stewardship! Our site in Buxton, Derbyshire was the first in the UK to achieve the highest available, Platinum status in 2021, and our site in Narberth, Pembrokeshire was certified Core in 2025.
We’re also working with partners to help fund and deliver water regeneration projects in our local water catchments to protect, restore and return more water than we use in our operations.
Reducing our Carbon Emissions
We are aligned to Nestlé Group’s Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 Roadmap.
Both our UK bottling sites are Zero Waste to Landfill and are powered by renewable electricity. At our bottling site in Narberth, Pembrokeshire, we have our own wind turbine that provides energy to the site. The remaining energy used at Narberth, as well as at our Buxton site in Derbyshire, is sourced from renewable energy providers.
In Buxton, Derbyshire we expanded our site with a new 1400 m2 warehouse facility. This helped bring more distribution in-house and we hope it will unlock opportunities to move our product more sustainably in the future.
Packaging & Recycling
Between 2013 and 2022, we removed 14,092 tonnes of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic from the Nestlé Pure Life range by lightweighting our bottles.
All our bottles are made with 30% recycled PET (excluding caps and labels) and can be recycled. So, once you’ve finished, simply drop your empty bottle into the recycling bin with the cap on. By recycling our bottles, you are giving them a chance to be used for all kinds of new things, including making new bottles.
We are also working towards the introduction of a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) in the UK which aims to improve recycling rates, increase the quantity and quality of recycled material, and reduce litter.
