Sustainability
A bottle made differently from the beginning.
Made from renewable plant-derived material rather than conventional petroleum-based plastic, and designed and certified for managed industrial composting conditions.
Not home compostable. Appropriate disposal infrastructure is required.

The material
Five reasons the bottle is different.
Renewable feedstock
Made using renewable plant-derived feedstock rather than conventional fossil-based PET, so the bottle does not start life as virgin petrochemical.
Plant based
Carbon position
We hold carbon documentation for the bottle material from our supplier. It covers the material's production stage rather than the whole product lifecycle, and we issue it on request rather than summarise it as a slogan.
Documentation on request
Recyclable
The material can be recycled where PLA recycling and material recovery systems accept it. That depends on local infrastructure, and it is not collected in every UK kerbside scheme.
Where accepted
Industrially compostable
Designed and certified for managed industrial composting conditions. Not home compostable. Appropriate disposal infrastructure is required.
Certificate on request
Bio-based content
EN 16785-1 is the standard used to determine the bio-based content of the material. It measures how much of the bottle comes from renewable sources — it is not a biodegradability certification, and we do not present it as one.

From plant to purpose
From the earth. Back to the earth.
The sustainability story begins before the bottle is made — and continues after it has been used.

Biodegradable does not mean litterable. Correct disposal and local infrastructure still matter.
Provenance + proximity
Single Cornish source. Shorter chain.
Win Win Water comes from a single Cornish source and is blown, filled, labelled and dispatched at source in the UK.
- The source
- One Cornish spring. No blending.
- The production
- Bottle blowing, filling and labelling brought together at source.
- The supply chain
- A simpler UK production model with fewer unnecessary movements between production stages.
Verification
Claims we can put documentation behind.
Every major sustainability claim should be capable of being forwarded to a buyer, auditor or sustainability team.

Industrially compostable, not home compostable. Biodegradable does not mean litterable. Recycling and composting routes depend on appropriate local infrastructure.
