Manage Water for Long-Term Sustainability
Support Earth-Friendly Efforts
Give Every 3- and 5-Gallon Bottle a Circular Life
We pick up your empty bottles. Then, we clean, sanitize and refill each one—up to 30 times.
Some bottles "work" for years before they "retire".
Once their "life" is complete, we recycle each bottle.
Improve Packaging
We're exploring new packaging and new ways to help minimize our environmental impact.
In December 2020, 20% of our plastic bottles were manufactured with rPET (Recycled PET plastic) with a goal of 50% by 2025.
Many of our brands—including a range of bottle sizes from Poland Spring®, Ozarka® and Zephyrhills®—are made completely BPA-free.3
Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Recently, we implemented "dynamic routing" to meet evolving customer needs; this saved 600,000 miles worth of fuel for customer delivery trips in 2019.4
ReadyRefresh is on track to convert 50% of its beverage delivery trucks to propane this year, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 10% compared to conventional fuel.5
Each month, ReadyRefresh transports water by train, saving approximately 100 tons of carbon compared to traveling by truck.4
Donate Millions of Bottles of Water
Since 2018, ReadyRefresh has donated approximately 20 million bottles of water to support food banks, help centers, churches and communities in need.
