Our Official Water Partner – Princes Gate

We are super proud to be the ‘Official Water Partner’ to the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k this year and what’s more, they’re just as recycling mad as us. A match made in heaven you might say.

If you didn’t know already, we sort of boss the recycling game here at Princes Gate. And we’re so very excited to be introducing a ‘closed loop’ supply to Admiral Swansea Bay 10k, with our bottles being made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic.

Yes you read that right, a Princes Gate bottle made entirely from other bottles (excluding cap and label)

In case you don’t know already, we call this range ‘Our Greenest Bottle Ever’, because he really is just “All Green. No Mean”.

But we need your help, pretty please?!

So we’ll provide you with our lovely natural welsh mineral water to keep you all hydrated on the course, but we’ll also be providing some very snazzy recycling bins for you to put (or slam dunk if you wish!) them in when you’re done.

They’ll then be collected and given another life after the race. Cool, eh?!

Together, let’s keep Swansea clean during Admiral Swansea Bay 10k and YOU will become… (Queue drum roll please)
