REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
PRODUCT CARBON FOOTPRINT
Together with ClimatePartner, we have measured the carbon emissions that occur during the manufacture of our aluminium bottles collection through raw materials, logistics, production and disposal: this is known as the Product Carbon Footprint.
CALCULATION OF OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
The calculation is based on internationally recognized standards: Greenhouse Gas Protocol A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard and Greenhouse Gas Protocol Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard.
THE AMOUNT OF CO2 TO BE OFFSET IS CONSISTENTLY REDUCED
In our Frauenfeld factory 100% of waste is repurposed, and any water used in production is collected in a closed system and recycled. In order to further reduce the SIGG CO2 footprint we have introduced the change to PCR aluminium for the entire aluminium bottles collection. All our aluminium bottles are made from 100% recycled material.

SUSTAINABILITY IN A BOTTLE
Based on the assumption that reusable water bottle is used 3 times per week over the period of 10 years, by purchasing one reusable water bottle you can save around 1500 PET bottles!
CO2 OFFSETTING THROUGH CERTIFIED PROJECTS
We offset all currently unavoidable CO2 emissions from the Aluminium Bottles Collection by supporting different climate action projects. As a result of this, the Aluminium Bottles Collection is certified carbon neutral. Climate action projects save CO2 emissions - for example, through providing safe drinking water to communities and therefore decreasing the firewood consumption during the process of water purification which results in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion process.
LAOS
80 per cent of households in Laos rely on boiling their drinking water to prevent stomach and intestinal illnesses. The aim of this project is to distribute over 100,000 water filters and thus not only save CO2, but also improve the health of residents.
PLASTIC BANK
Plastic Bank works with local populations in Haiti, Indonesia, Brazil and the Philippines to collect plastic waste. This keeps plastic out of the oceans, allowing them to perform their climate-balancing functions.
ERITREA
In Zoba Maekel district, located in central Eritrea, damaged drinking water wells are identified and repaired. This gives the inhabitants access to clean drinking water that does not have to be boiled beforehand. This reduces CO2 emissions and deforestation in the region.
