Why do we transport water thousands of miles in PET bottles, which is environmentally unfriendly?
It is a fact of the UK weather systems that, relatively speaking, the west is wet, and the east is dry. The taste of tap water is relatively poor in the east of the UK. Consumers enjoy the taste and affordable everyday prices of Brecon Carreg. The supply from sources in the west of the country meets the demands of the east of the country, especially around London, and so there is the need to transport the goods in that direction, over tens and hundreds of miles, not thousands. We aim to fit as many bottles to a pallet as is safe to transport. 25. If we protect the environment that our water comes from, how can we then mass-produce PET bottles which are environmentally friendly We ensure the sustainability of our sources. Our extraction and filling process does not impact on the environment – no effluent, waste, or discharge. We segregate and recycle bottles at the plant and encourage consumers to do the same after they have used them. We advocate responsible recycling.
