In 2018, Acqua Minerale di Calizzano launched its "Plastic Free" awareness campaign, which has enabled it to significantly reduce its use of plastics.
Do you know why it is necessary to minimize the use of plastic?
Despite being a lightweight material suitable for multiple uses, plastic is causing increasingly significant pollution, which even the most industrialized countries are struggling to manage.
Do you know what happens to plastic that ends up in the oceans?
In the sea, plastic deteriorates due to exposure to the sun, wind, and waves, causing it to break down into particles less than half a centimeter in length known as "microplastics." Microplastics, in turn, degrade into increasingly smaller pieces, which are ingested by fish and dispersed into the air, becoming impossible to recover.
Aware of all this, Acqua Minerale di Calizzano has decided to focus and invest in glass, a completely recyclable material that can be reused.
In fact, after carefully checking and sanitizing the glass bottles, the company reuses them several times.
The company is also committed to recycling all production waste: glass, paper, plastic, and aluminum are disposed of correctly, helping to protect the environment.
Glass also allows for better water preservation because:
It keeps the properties of the liquids it contains unchanged;
It preserves its freshness, effervescence, and nutritional values.
Does not absorb;
Does not release substances;
It is a high-quality material.
OUR PLANT Photovoltaic
To contribute to environmental protection, in 2011 Acqua Minerale di Calizzano installed a photovoltaic system of approximately 450 kWp covering 80% of the factory roofs. This guarantees approximately 60% of the company's energy needs, avoiding the emission of 300 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
