Organika has encouraged the community to ditch single-use plastic water bottles with the launch of a natural spring water refill station.
The Noosa community and visitors can now refill their reusable bottles with Mt Beerwah Natural Spring Water available on-tap at Organika’s recently commissioned Water Station.
“Water is an absolute essential for overall health and wellbeing,“ Organika owner and operator Dan Gladki said.
“Our search for the best water in Australia led us close to home, the Glass House Mountains. A natural wonder that boasts the purest water on earth.”
Speaking about the launch, Will Neill from Mt Beerwah Natural Spring Water said, “We are delighted to deliver Noosa’s first natural spring water refill station to the team at Organika.“
“We are proud to support a longstanding, locally-owned and run family business who share the same passion for environmental sustainability and community health and wellbeing as we do.
“Providing the community with the ability to refill their bottles with quality, pure natural spring water sourced locally from the Glass House Mountains hinterland compliments Organika’s very impressive range of certified organic and sustainably sourced products.”
Filtered naturally through the earth, arising pure and pristine direct from the spring, Organika’s Water Station allows customers to refill with local spring water naturally containing essential minerals, electrolytes, and antioxidants. Ethically sourced, the pure spring water is chemical and additive-free.
For 70 cents per litre, customers can reuse and refill their own bottles at Organika’s Water Station or can choose to buy one of the reusable and recyclable bottles available in store.
Program manager of Plastic Free Noosa, Peita Otterbach said, “It is estimated close to a 3 million single-use plastic water bottles are sold in Noosa Shire every year, with over 80 per cent destined for landfill or polluting our waterways and foreshore. Choosing to reuse and refusing to buy single-use plastic water bottles is the best long term solution.”
“Organika’s Water Station has the potential to prevent close to 10,000 600ml single-use water bottles from circulation in just one week, that’s 520,000 per year.”
“Organika is a Plastic Free Noosa Champion business who continue to expand on their environmentally sustainable operations – the Water Station is just one example of their impressive efforts.”
The Water Station is now one of four refilling stations available at Organika making it easier for the community to achieve or work towards a zero waste lifestyle by eradicating single-use plastics and packaging from their everyday lives.
Customers can bring their own reusable containers and refill with:
– Bulk raw ingredients and wholefoods.
– Chemical and toxic free cleaning solutions.
– Natural personal care products.
– Pure natural local spring water.
