  • If you are so concerned about World water issues, how can you sell bottled water?

    One is a not-for-profit business, operating in the corporate world; in the most ethical way possible, to make money to give away to people that really need it.
    The reality is that the market is worth over a billion pounds in the UK. It's a market where healthy profits are made. As with all our products lines, our mission is to displace those profits into causes that address the imbalance in our world.

    We are not saying buy our water INSTEAD of using tap water; we are saying IF you are going to buy bottled water, buy One and make a difference at the same time. And it adds up – so far, One has raised over £6.9 and the million in donations and provided clean water to over 1 million people.

    What better way to directly aid those who need it most?

    All our water is sourced locally in the country of sale, so water sold in Britain is bottled here and the same for Australia. Our bottles are recyclable.

  • What are your bottles made of?

    Our bottles are made of PET and are the lightest weight 500ml plastic bottles available. They use far less plastic than the typical water bottle. In fact, they are 50% lighter than your average soda bottle.

    There are no quick wins to this, but people are moving in the right direction. And we work closely with our manufactures to look at the best long term, sustainable, environmental options, rather than a quick fix solution.
