The company has incorporated this lid type into the 1.5 litre format to boost the circular economy.

Aquadeus, a natural mineral water company that is part of Grupo Fuertes, has just incorporated its solidarity lid into the 1.5 l format, to join the 0.5 l and 0.33 l formats which had it already. This type of lid is attached to the bottle so that the whole container can be recycled in one go. It also contains less plastic than the normal screw-on lid.

With this initiative, Aquadeus stays a step ahead and promotes the sustainability of the planet and the well-being of future generations by developing the circular economy with its business activity. With this new addition, the company pre-empts the application of European Directive 2019/904, which, as of July 2021, will rule that the lids of drink containers with a volume of up to 3 l must remain attached to the container.

In addition, Aquadeus is determined to keep progressing in the reduction of the plastic content of its containers, most of which are already manufactured with 25 and 50 percent recycled plastic.

Among the main technical advantages of the solidarity lid, also known as the ‘snap’ lid, are its easy opening with three positions, and the security provided by the audible click which signals proper closure of the bottle.

With the launch of this innovative project, the company backs sustainable, inclusive development and achieves environmental and social benefits while developing its activity. In the same vein, and in addition to this initiative, it has installed a 1-megawatt photovoltaic park to achieve energy self-sufficiency at one of its facilities. It has carried out a reforestation campaign too. Four hectares of trees have been planted around the El Robledo factory in Albacete. The company also raises awareness of the importance of recycling via social networks and the product labels. The estimated oxygen generated is enough to compensate 100Tn of CO2.
