Recycling has been a crucial step in reducing waste, but creating circular products is going to take this initiative to a whole new level.
One Water is a certified B Corporation founded by Duncan Goose to tackle the widespread issue that is access to clean drinking water around the world. The company was formed in 2005 with the aim of selling products in the UK to fund clean drinking water initiatives through The One Foundation.
The One Foundation is on a mission to eliminate fatalities and combat the lack of drinking water, which is affecting nearly 800 million people worldwide. The organization has impacted more than 4 million people in this situation, by raising over $25 million.
The charity’s strategy is built around its core values, prioritizing Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, and Malawi, as it aims to raise a total of $60mn by 2030 to carry out its essential work, which will be separated by:
- 75% in large scale urban water systems
- 15% immediate interventions in rural communities
- 10% in response to humanitarian emergencies
One Water has aluminum bottles and glass bottles, and their aluminum cans are made of 40% or more recycled materials. One Water is also a member of one 1% for the Planet, meaning it donates 1% of its profits to positive environmental action.
