| NÜWATER was born out of a desire to combat the harmful impact that plastic bottles have on our environment today. With approximately 8 million tonnes of plastic ending up in the ocean every year, NÜWATER is a recyclable alternative to plastic bottled water. We'd like to put the UAE at the forefront of driving sustainability, to ensure ourfuture generations live in a cleaner, healthier, plastic free world. NÜWATER is sourced from an artesian spring 500 meters underground, one of the deepest springs in the world. Filtered through rich volcanic rock, NÜWATER supplies the body with essential minerals for life. In comparison to desalinated water - a process that is highly energy intensive, removes all the minerals and produces toxic waste in the process. We are proud to say our manufacturing process is 100% Carbon Neutral. We aim to be a Carbon Net Positive company by 2023. see less | Nov 16, 2020 | ||
