aqua.v bottled mineral water was born out of a desire to provide the freshest, locally sourced mountain fresh spring water in a glass bottle that was both environmentally friendly and aesthetically pleasing. The spring’s source is located just below the magnificent Paarl Rock, where our mineral water flows up naturally through layers of ancient granite rock formations before revealing itself to us with its brilliant light taste of crystal clear blended minerals. We serve aqua.v mineral water in glass because of the irreparable damage that plastic does to our environment, our oceans and to us by taking over one thousand years to disintegrate. During this process, plastic toxins are released directly into our earth, oceans and food chain. Because glass is one of the most inefficient materials to recycle, saving only 30% of the energy it takes to recreate each bottle, we realised that an alternative solution was needed. As a result, aqua.v spring mineral water uses only returnable & reusable glass bottles. Our glass bottles are packaged in wooden crates - a renewable resource - just another reason why aqua.v mineral water is such an all-round eco-sustainable product. aqua.v is proud to be the first company in South Africa to provide spring mineral water in returnable glass bottles and to be a part of the solution to a healthy and environmentally sustainable way of living.
