Our Commitment
To us, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – it’s at the heart of everything we do. As a local spring water supplier, we are committed to minimising our environmental impact while providing pure, high-quality hydration in the most responsible way possible.
We recognise the growing concern around single-use plastics, carbon emissions and water conservation. We take our role seriously in protecting both the environment and our local communities. By choosing ethically sourced, glass-bottled spring water, our customers are making a conscious decision to support sustainability while enjoying the finest natural hydration.
Our promise is simple: to deliver exceptional spring water while ensuring our business operates with as little impact on the planet as possible. This means reducing waste, improving efficiency, and protecting the very resources that make our water so special.
How We’re Making a Difference
We take a holistic approach to sustainability, ensuring that every part of our process from sourcing and bottling to delivery, aligns with our environmental commitments. By focusing on ethical sourced water, recyclable packaging and efficient operations, we are actively reducing our carbon footprint while providing a responsible alternative to mass-produced bottled water.
Our efforts include:
- Zero waste to landfill – our latest annual waste report confirms that 100% of our waste was recycled, further reducing our environmental impact.
- Sustainable packaging, using 100% recyclable glass bottles and 100% rPET bottles, ensuring all materials can be fully recycled.
- Reducing carbon emissions through local bottling, optimised delivery routes, and energy-efficient production.
- Protecting natural water sources by carefully managing extraction and ensuring long-term water conservation.
We continually review and improve our sustainability initiatives, working towards a greener, more ethical future for bottled spring water.

Zero Waste to Landfill: Our Commitment to Responsible Waste Management
We are dedicated to ensuring that every part of our operation is as environmentally responsible as possible. Our latest annual waste report confirms that 100% of our waste was recycled, with zero waste sent to landfill.
This achievement reflects our ongoing efforts to reduce waste, improve recycling processes and operate as sustainably as possible. From our bottling facility to packaging materials, we carefully manage resources to minimise environmental impact. Choosing New Forest Water, means you’re supporting a business that prioritises sustainability at every stage from source to sip.
100% rPET Bottles & Recyclable Glass Packaging
Packaging waste is one of the biggest challenges in the bottled water industry and we are committed to leading the way in sustainable solutions. Every glass bottle can be infinitely recycled without loss of quality, making it the gold standard in sustainable packaging.
For customers who prefer plastic, we use 100% rPET bottles. Unlike traditional plastic, rPET is made from post-consumer recycled plastic, significantly lowering carbon emissions and diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans. Our rPET bottles are fully recyclable making them remain part of the circular economy.
Our mission is to encourage more businesses and individuals to make responsible hydration choices, reducing plastic waste and promoting ethically sourced, eco-friendly spring water.
What is rPET & Why We Use It
rPET, or recycled polyethylene terephthalate, is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic, made by reprocessing post-consumer plastic waste. Instead of producing new plastic, rPET repurposes existing materials, reducing the need for fossil fuel extraction and significantly lowering carbon emissions. This process diverts plastic waste from landfills and oceans, supporting a more circular and sustainable packaging solution.
At New Forest Water, we are dedicated to minimising our environmental impact while delivering high-quality bottled spring water. We prioritise glass packaging, but we also recognise that some customers and businesses require the convenience of plastic. That’s why we use 100% rPET for all plastic bottles, ensuring that every bottle is made from fully recycled material and is completely recyclable after use.
We are helping to reduce plastic waste, lower our carbon footprint and promote a responsible approach to packaging by choosing rPET. This aligns with our broader sustainability initiatives and values, ensuring that when you choose New Forest Water, you’re making a choice that’s better for both you and the planet.
Carbon Footprint Reduction & Local Sourcing
Reducing our carbon footprint is a top priority and we take every step possible to minimise emissions throughout our supply chain. By keeping operations local and working with regional partners, we significantly reduce delivery miles while supporting sustainable business practices.
We achieve this by:
- Bottling our New Forest Water directly at the source, eliminating unnecessary transportation during production.
- Using efficient delivery routes to cut down on fuel consumption and reduce our overall emissions.
- Ensuring our bottling facility operates with minimal environmental impact, using sustainable energy wherever possible.
Our commitment goes beyond packaging. Our Sustainable Delivery Initiative helps reduce road miles by optimising orders and ensuring efficient routes. We prioritise local deliveries within a 50-mile radius using our own fleet, while orders outside of this area are delivered through national haulage network partners, who utilise pre-existing routes to avoid unnecessary emissions. This approach ensures that our ethically sourced, premium spring water reaches customers in the most environmentally responsible way possible.
