PET plastic bottles are 100% recyclable. PET plastic bottles are collected by 100% of Local Authorities for recycling.

74% of plastic (PET / HDPE) drinks bottles were collected for recycling from the kerbside. The weight of PET water bottles has been significantly reduced over the last few decades. A 1.5 litre PET bottle is now about 30% lighter than it was twenty years ago.

By producing lighter bottles, producers use fewer raw materials and are more energy and resource efficient in the process. Between them, the members of the Natural Source Waters Association are instrumental in protecting around 350,000 acres in the UK, an area the equivalent of the Peak District National Park
