Lidl becomes first UK supermarket to use ocean-bound plastic in water bottles

Lidl POP Sparkling Water Bottles

Discounter Lidl has announced it will be incorporating ocean-bound plastics into its water bottles.

From July, Lidl said that its 1-litre San Celestino Italian sparkling mineral water bottles will contain a minimum of 30% Prevented Ocean Plastic, which otherwise would have ended up in the water.

Lidl sells 12 million of the bottles every year and said the initiative would save ā€œalmost 100 tonnes of plastic from entering our oceans per yearā€.
