Lidl becomes first UK supermarket to use ocean-bound plastic in water bottles

Lidl POP Sparkling Water Bottles

Discounter Lidl has announced it will be incorporating ocean-bound plastics into its water bottles.

From July, Lidl said that its 1-litre San Celestino Italian sparkling mineral water bottles will contain a minimum of 30% Prevented Ocean Plastic, which otherwise would have ended up in the water.

Lidl sells 12 million of the bottles every year and said the initiative would save “almost 100 tonnes of plastic from entering our oceans per year”.
