Re:Water has agreed a five-year, eight-figure supply deal with Ball Corporation to support rising demand for its aluminium bottled water.
Under the agreement, Ball will supply tens of millions of aluminium bottles to Re:Water as the brand expands across retail, catering and hospitality. The company reports double-digit growth this year.
The deal extends the pair’s existing partnership and supports Re:Water’s focus on using 100% recycled aluminium sourced in the UK and Europe. The brand says this approach is intended to reduce carbon footprint and avoid emissions linked to long-distance imports.
Re:Water, owned by Berrington Pure Spring Water, launched in 2021 and has sold more than 12 million bottles. Its products are now available through outlets including the National Trust, M&S, Pret, Cornish Bakery, LW Theatres, the Eden Project, David Lloyd Leisure, Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Buckingham Palace and over 5,000 independents.
Victoria Marletta, commercial VP of personal and Home care at Ball Corporation, said: “Our purpose is clear: to unlock the infinite potential of aluminium to advance a world free from waste".
She continued: "What customers seek in today’s world is enduring value – solutions that are not only effective, but responsible. By listening to our customers and co-creating scalable solutions, we’re delivering aluminium innovations that reduce waste, lower emissions, and preserve product integrity.
“Re:Water... commitment to true sustainability sets them apart – and when they were honoured with a King’s Award this year, it only confirmed what we already knew: they’re leaders in the UK market.
Matt Crocker, director at Re:Water, added: “This is one of our biggest ever deals and a milestone moment for our business. Ball is a trusted partner, and this agreement secures the next stage of our growth. We’re continuing to see strong, high double-digit demand – clear proof that consumers want better choices and are actively moving away from plastic."
“For us, it’s essential to use 100% recycled aluminium that’s locally sourced from the UK and Europe – otherwise it’s just another greenwashing product. Our goal is to remain the most sustainable bottled water on the market, with one of the lowest carbon footprints in the industry.”
