Sustainability at Oravida Waters
Our Commitment
At Oravida Waters, sustainability is not an initiative — it is a guiding principle.
We are dedicated to protecting the purity of our artesian water source and operating in a way that supports long‑term environmental wellbeing.
Every decision we make reflects our responsibility to both nature and the communities we serve.
Our approach is built on authenticity, transparency, and continual improvement.
Protecting
Our Source
Our artesian water is a rare natural resource, filtered through layers of mineral‑rich rock and protected deep beneath the earth.
We treat this source with the utmost respect, bottling only to order to minimise environmental impact and avoid unnecessary extraction.
This ensures our water remains as pristine as nature intended.
Renewable Energy Leadership
In 2025, Oravida Waters installed a solar energy facility that now supplies the majority of our total energy needs — a milestone we believe to be an industry first in New Zealand.
This commitment dramatically reduces our operational footprint and reinforces our belief that renewable energy is essential to the future of premium beverage production.
Packaging with Purpose
Oravida Waters uses only:
Recyclable glass bottles for our premium still and sparkling range
10L Bag-in-Box formats designed to reduce waste for high‑demand hospitality environments
This packaging choice significantly reduces plastic use, improves material efficiency, and supports our long‑term environmental goals.
Minimising Waste
We continuously review and refine our production systems to reduce waste at every stage — from bottling processes to packaging materials and distribution.
Our aim is simple: to use fewer resources, generate less waste, and ensure that the materials we do use can be recycled or repurposed responsibly.
A Responsibility Beyond Marketing
Sustainability at Oravida Waters is not a campaign or a slogan. It is a business philosophy.
We are committed to meeting the expectations of the world’s most discerning hospitality markets — not only through quality, but through genuine environmental stewardship.
“This is not about green marketing, rather it's about building a business that can compete in the world’s most demanding hospitality markets, both on quality and on sustainability.”
Looking Forward
We continue to explore new technologies, packaging innovations, and environmental initiatives to deepen our sustainability impact.
Our ambition is to lead by example — showing that premium water can be produced with uncompromising respect for the environment.
