Natural Mineral Waters Europe (NMWE)

Did you know, that the Europe's oldest Deposit Return Systems #DRS runs since 1984! 🗓️8️⃣4️⃣ As we speak, across Europe #DRS are being discussed and implemented more than ever before. DRS increases beverage bottle collection rates, making circularity through recycling and reuse possible for our industry. Check out the current status of DRS in Europe: https://lnkd.in/d87KJRG3 

Here's an interesting fact: 38% of Europeans prefer sparkling water over still. Water from all sources plays a key role in healthy drinking habits. As adequate hydration is crucial to our wellbeing, access to water from every source should be actively encouraged. Explore more interesting data at: https://lnkd.in/d25xMgVT

⚠️ Through their social dialogue initiative, Żywiec Zdrój was alerted by key local stakeholders to low water flow in nearby wetlands and peat bogs, which were primarily fed by groundwater and rainwater. 🖊️ Żywiec Zdrój responded by signing a letter of intent with Centrum Ochrony Mokradeł (Wetlands Conservation Centre) to launch the ‘Kropla do Kropli’ (Drop by Drop) project. This initiative aims to preserve local ecosystems and restore the area’s water resources and hydrological balance through proactive and targeted efforts. 🌿 The project focuses on rehydrating peat bogs and protecting key water sources to secure long-term ecological stability. Collaboration is at the core of the initiative, with local stakeholders, scientific experts, and the community. 💧 Preparations are underway to begin irrigation on two peat bogs of a combined 140 hectares, in partnership with local landowners, the Mirosławiec Municipality, the Polish State Forests, and experts from Polish universities. 📖 Additionally, the project includes the development of educational materials on wetlands designed to be engaging and accessible to consumers.
