BEING BETTER IS IN OUR NATURE!



Preserving our Natural Resource
Water is indispensable to life, but it is not unlimited and therefore cannot be wasted. Our essence, our origin and our nature lies in the Gerès mountain range, which is why our primary commitment is to ensure the preservation and equilibrium of the aquifer—pure and mineralised by the rocks and subsoil over thousands of years—through rational management and keeping the natural spaces surrounding it clean and protected.














100% Recyclabe Packaging
At Água do Fastio, we work tirelessly to keep pace with technological innovation, namely by optimising and improving the environmental performance of our packaging by reducing waste. Currently, 100% of our packaging is recyclable, whether it's made from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or glass.
PET is a recyclable material that is very light and has high circularity potential, even able to be used as a raw material for making new bottles. By 2025, our goal is to use at least 25% recycled PET (rPET) in our packaging.
In the HoReCa industry, we were pioneers in offering our Fastio range in returnable-deposit glass bottles, currently available in three formats (1L, 0.5L and 0.33L).


Raising awareness about recycling
= A shared responsibility
With the goal of making our packaging even more environmentally sustainable, we have actively and continuously interacted with SIGRE (Sistema Integral de Gestão de Resíduos de Embalagens; English translation: Integrated System for Packaging Waste Management) since day one, namely by being part of the Ponto Verde system.
We also share a commitment with the Sector of Mineral and Spring Waters of Portugal to implement the Sistema Depósito Reembolso (SDR; English translation: Refund Deposit System) which will allow for the collection of high-quality (uncontaminated) PET packaging—the exclusive raw material for recycled PET (rPET).
To this end, we widely promote and raise awareness about the importance of recycling among our customers and consumers.
