Ethical bottled water from Northern Ireland
A new ethical bottled water has been launched by Clearer Water in
Northern Ireland.
Clearer Water is a social enterprise which means that all profits
go back into the small business, where the money is channelled into good causes that help change people's lives.
Based near Larne in county Antrim, Clearer Water is focused on
providing opportunities for disadvantaged people who find it
difficult to get jobs, or are unable to work in typical working
environments.
Globally, the organisation concentrates on helping people gain
access to clean water by digging wells to bring sustainable water
supplies through a partner charity in Africa.
Clearer Water also prides its operation on transparency and
traceability. Co-Founder and manager, Maureen Hanvey, says:
"Every bottle of Clearer Water is fully traceable, from the team
member who bottled it, its Ph., to the temperature and weather
conditions during bottling, to the vegetables growing in our garden at the time. We think it helps show how much of a difference each
bottle can make.
"We operate to the 'Triple Bottom Line' principle. We believe that
our business should focus on people, our planet and profit," she
adds.
Clearer Water is Ireland's first social enterprise bottled water
with 100 per cent of profits split between the local and overseas
schemes.
The water is sourced from deep beneath the ancient lands of
Magheramorne, birthplace of St Comgall. Buried beneath
65-145million year-old volcanic lava, a pure white limestone,
locally known as the Ulster White Limestone Formation, was formed
during the Upper Cretaceous Period.
Naturally filtered by the geological strata to its natural purity
and enriched with minerals, Clearer Water is drawn from a
protected deep underground source. It has a Ph of 7.8 providing a
water which is naturally Alkaline.
Clearer Water bottles into 500ml PET bottles still water and in
March 2016 will launch its premium glass bottle range in sizes:
750ml, 500ml, 330ml and 250ml. The water is sourced at Larne Lough
Nurseries.
