All our bottles are made from 100% recycled PET

Water Sustainability and Buxton Bottle Recycling

The natural goodness in our water is extremely precious. So naturally, protecting it is at the heart of everything we do.

We take care of the environment that makes the BUXTON Natural Mineral Water special and are aligned to Nestlé’s ambition to achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050. We’re bringing you healthy hydration in packaging that is made with 100% recycled plastic and recyclable at kerbside. And when it comes to our water resources, we’re dedicated guardians, committed to water sustainability, protecting the natural sources and the land around them so that future generations can enjoy the same natural purity of water. Here’s what to look forward to.

Our bottles are designed to keep your favourite water naturally pure, safe and conveniently available no matter where you are. And their job is not over once you’ve enjoyed the last sip.

All our packaging is fully recyclable, even the cap! But we want to go even further and become fully circular in the way we design and manage packaging, so that no plastic bottle ends up in landfill or as waste. Instead, we give it a chance at a second life to become a brand-new bottle. All BUXTON bottles are now entirely made from 100% recycled plastic (rPET).

We have a long-standing commitment to sustainability, to reduce our impact on the environment and accelerate achieving a circular economy. This means we will reuse existing plastic to create new BUXTON® bottles.

• We believe that all new bottles should be made from other bottles 
• BUXTON is helping close the recycling loop with all bottles made with 100% recycled plastic (rPET)
• All Buxton bottles are 100% recyclable and designed for recyclability – they’re easy to flatten and drop into the recycling bin
• We’re working with others across the industry to improve the national recycling rate and support the UK-wide Deposit Return Scheme

By recycling your bottles, you can help to close the loop on plastics. Let’s act together and recycle!

Water is one of nature’s most precious resources, which is why water stewardship lies at the heart of everything we do. We’re going beyond the walls of our factory to work with the local community and our partners to find collective solutions to sustainable water management, to ensure the quality of the sources and the protection of the land around them for now and long into the future.

BUXTON® site, first in the UK to receive top score for water stewardship

We care deeply for the precious water resources around us. That’s why we’re proud to announce that our pioneering water stewardship work has seen the home of BUXTON® Natural Mineral Water achieve the prestigious Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) Standard certification with platinum status, the highest level possible, an important international recognition for outstanding commitment to responsible water policies and initiatives.

We continue to push forward and work together to overcome water challenges. We know we have an important role to play in improving and preserving the landscape that makes BUXTON® Natural Mineral Water special. We are driven by our responsibility to preserve its richness, diversity and vitality. 

Our partnership with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust aims to increase biodiversity

Strengthening biodiversity and helping to protect the natural purity of our waters means doing the right thing above ground to protect what’s underneath. Working with partners such as the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust helps us to understand the ecological environment around our sources and develop sustainable land management plans to ensure we take care of places where wildlife can thrive and people can connect with, learn from and be inspired by nature.

Helping regenerate local water cycles

Through our “Water Regeneration pledge”, we are working with partners on nature-based projects to help regenerate local water cycles and achieve a positive water impact by the end of 2025. Our two projects include helping restore the River Ecclesbourne back to its original channel to create a route for fish migration and helping enhance the Combs Moss moorland to increase its capacity to hold water, mitigating flood risk downstream.

Much like the journey of BUXTON® Natural Mineral Water, rising through a mile of British rock before reaching the surface, we’re pushing ahead, overcoming challenges and committed to managing our business sustainably.

We’re combining innovation and sustainability

Modern and efficient bottling facilities have always been part of the BUXTON® Water journey from its natural source all the way to you. Our state-of-the-art factory in Buxton was designed and built with sustainability at its core. The factory is one of Europe’s most innovative and environmentally sustainable and powered by renewable electricity.

Our factory is surrounded by a vibrant habitat with over 200 trees and 3.5 hectares of wildflower meadows – the largest in Buxton, according to a local ecologist! To learn more, click here: https://www.buxtonwater.co.uk/articles/community-and-environment/our-water-hero-craig
