Acqua San Benedetto: the new Ecogreen Easy bottle, recycled and zero emissions

The future is only what leads us on the path of sustainability. He is well aware of this San Benedetto water which today launched its new bottle Ecogreen Easy, a small revolution that has long been expected in the field of sustainability. The bottle is in fact the first to be made from 100% RPET, or recycled Pet, and the first 100% “carbon neutral”: the carbon dioxide emissions emitted to produce it over its entire life cycle are offset by reforestation projects.

So the best you can expect, for now, from a bottle.

The result is not trivial, on all fronts: only thanks to a change in the law that prevented the production of 100% recycled plastic bottles in Italy, obtained thanks to the support of the Senator Andrea Ferrazzi, today it is possible to produce and use a bottle totally in Rpet, while only thanks to the commitment of Acqua San Benedetto to create a line, the Ecogreen line, with 100% of the emissions offset, you can have a bottle with zero impact on the environment.

This is just one of the steps that the company has taken in recent years in the field of sustainability, a commitment that began in 2009 with a voluntary agreement with the Ministry of the Environment to detect and evaluate carbon dioxide emissions, and the choice to implement improvement processes to reduce CO2 emissions.

A path that has led to an energy efficiency of the machines, to the use of a trigeneration and photovoltaic system, to the choice of using 5 different water sources in the peninsula to reduce transport distances, using a “lightweighting bottle», lighter bottle (which therefore uses less plastic), del tappo Twist&Drink (i.e. tied to the bottle so that it does not disperse in the environment) e of Rpet, regenerated pet plastic on the whole Ecogreen line. The result? In the two-year period 2019-2020, the San Benedetto Group reduced emissions by 37,900 tons of CO2 eq.

“We are proud of the goals achieved by our Group from an environmental perspective thanks to a commitment that has distant roots in the Company’s industrial path and which represent one of the strategic assets for our future development”, commented Enrico Zoppas, Chairman and CEO of Acqua Minerale San Benedetto “The constant research and innovative capacity has led us to this launch which represents a milestone in our path towards a full circular economy and towards zero impact”. A greener future therefore, in which the ecological choice becomes a real wealth, not only for the planet. As Zoppas added at the press conference, the path taught the company, which wanted to invest in technology, in new projects and in the growth of new professionals, that “sustainability is not the enemy of efficiency, quite the opposite»And which therefore represents development and growth both for the company and for the environment.
