Clear Water, a company which provides bottled water to domestic and corporate consumers including major banks, hotels and resorts, has introduced biodegradable covers to protect its newly introduced 10-litre bottle of water.
“Sometimes it can be tough to handle the massive 19-litre bottle of water,” said Clear Water Director Chrysantha Fernando. “Our new 10-litre bottles that come in a biodegradable packaging not only ensures that the bottle is clean and safe, but also easier to handle, lift and carry,” he said, adding that senior citizens and housewives would find it easy to lift and refill the dispenser.
The company plans to provide a clay water dispenser crafted by local artisans to those who purchase a 10-litre bottle for the first time.
“Not only would you be supporting local artisans with your purchase, but you’ll also be supporting the government initiative to go plastic-free,” he said. The company also plans to add 10 electric delivery vehicles to its fleet, when the vehicle import ban is lifted, through its sister company Eco Trans Lanka Holdings (Pvt) Ltd, said Fernando.
