image001 10 Partnership delivers sustainable water vending machine solution

Revolutionary brand Bottle Up has partnered with Livewell Vending to provide its reusable, sustainable, plant-based, BPA-free, pre-filled reusable water bottles in Livewell’s vending machines, which are available to hospitality and leisure sites, schools and colleges, workplaces and residential sites across the North of England.

Bottle Up and Livewell each have sustainability at their heartland, making the partnership well-aligned. Made in Wolverhampton, Bottle Up turns renewable sugar cane sourced from Brazilian grasslands into durable, sustainable bottles which are then filled with pure British spring water from Elmhurst in Staffordshire for minimum carbon impact. Live Well Vending focuses on its logistics operation to ensure intrinsically sustainable practices, from only traveling to sites when needed, sustainable product sourcing and recycling all plastic and cardboard waste at their facility.

Bottle Up co-founder, Andrew Eversden said: “The availability of Bottle Up bottles in Livewell Vending’s vending machines gives consumers greater access to a sustainable pre-filled water bottle option, and is a fantastic step towards eradicating unsustainable pre-filled drinking options.”

Livewell Vending director, Aaron Prout said: “The Bottle Up drinks have been popular in our vending stations. They stand out well and offer a unique solution to our customers, providing ready to drink ice-cold refreshing spring water, as well as a striking, yet affordable, reusable bottle”
