At
Laken, we are continuously working to institute and refine practices
to minimize our environmental footprint through solid waste
reduction, recycling, and energy and water conservation. All of our
bottles are 100% recyclable. We hope that you will join us in
our pledge to the environment by replacing your disposable plastic
drinking bottles with Laken bottles.
According
to the Container Recycling Institute, only about 14% of all
disposable water bottles are recycled. The few bottles that do make
it to the recycling center become ‘down-cycled’ into a lower form
of plastic and very seldom are remade into other plastic bottles. As
for the other 86%, Americans add 30 million PET water bottles to
landfills every day!
In
addition to saving our environment from hundreds of plastic bottles,
switching to reusable Laken bottles means you are joining the growing
numbers of people who care, because Lakens are 100% recyclable.
Recycled
packaging
At
Laken, we want our packaging to have the lowest possible impact on
the world around us. We aim for four main sustainability
characteristics in our packaging:
To
use 100% recycled or 100% renewable material in our packaging
To
use the least possible amount of material per pack
To
use materials with a low carbon footprint
To
use materials for which there is a widely available sustainable waste
management option
Environmental
management system - Laken’s factory in Spain is ISO 14001:2004
certified, thus guaranteeing that environmental impact is being
measured and improved, including:
