MadeBetter
As a company that relies on nature, we take responsibility to help conserve it. MadeBetter™ is our pledge to a healthy planet and healthy communities. Here’s what we’re doing.
Meet Our Bottles
Like many of you, we’re on a journey to help reduce waste by using better bottles that can be recycled and transformed into new bottles.
Caring for water
Poland Spring® Brand comes from natural springs, all located in the beautiful state of Maine. Our spring guardians, a team of hydrogeologists and field experts, monitor water flows, track precipitation levels and even study the areas’ biodiversity. All of this is to help ensure the springs and surrounding areas are sustainably managed. And to get the highest quality water delivered fresh for you.
Our bottling facilities are some of the only sites in the U.S. to be independently certified by the Alliance for Water Stewardship, which demonstrates our use of water is socially equitable, environmentally sustainable and economically beneficial.

Recycling matters
JOIN US BY RECYCLING
Our bottles are designed to the standards of Association of Plastic Recycling (APR) to be 100% recyclable. We even designed our labels to peel off easily to avoid contaminating the recycling stream.
Unfortunately, less than 30% of PET plastic is recycled in the U.S. That means a shocking 68% ends up in the waste stream. But together we can change this. The more plastic you recycle, the more we can use to create new recycled bottles, and the less plastic waste is generated.
If you need more recycling tips, look for the How2Recycle info on our labels or visit berecycled.org for details specific to your community.
