Re:Water is the ‘world’s first spring water that comes in a bottle made from 100% recycled aluminium’. Around eight million tonnes of plastic is dumped in our oceans every year.
The aluminium bottle keeps water cooler and fresher for longer, and once finished it can be refilled, reused and recycled. Since its launch in 2019 Re:Water has helped remove over 100 tonnes of plastic from UK shelfs.
Matt Crocker, co-founder of Re:Water, said: “As a brand focused on sustainability we are thrilled to be partnering with Lord’s to aid their ambitious environmental goals. Their members and visitors will be able to refill our bottles across the venue to enjoy during matches and on their journey home – eliminating thousands of single-use containers every match day.”
Re:Water will be on sale across the venue ahead of an ‘exciting summer of cricket’ at Lord’s including men’s and women’s Ashes matches.
MCC commercial director Andy Muggleton added: “No waste has been sent to landfill from Lord’s since 2010, and no single-use plastic water bottles will now be sold at Lord’s, with Re:Water providing a reusable and sustainable alternative to take advantage of the 30 water refill stations across the ground.
“Lord’s is the home of cricket, and we are responsible for futureproofing for generations to come. We believe that Re:Water aligns with our values and will not only reduce overall waste but contribute towards MCC’s commitment to being a net zero carbon club.”
