With water bottles being one of the largest found pieces of litter on beaches, the brand created its resealable aluminium packaging to combat this issue. The brand’s founders have been using its product to raise awareness of this issue, even heading to the Houses of Parliament in London, alongside Sir David Attenborough in 2018.
