Sustainability at Little Hampton
At Little Hampton, sustainability is not an afterthought — it is built into every decision we make. From choosing infinitely recyclable materials to reducing our transport footprint, we are committed to protecting the landscapes that give us our spring water. As a family-owned Australian company, we believe we have a responsibility to bottle our water with care, preserving both purity and the environment for generations to come.
Glass & Aluminium — Better by Design
Our water is bottled exclusively in glass and aluminium, two of the most sustainable packaging materials available:
-
Glass is endlessly reusable and recyclable without losing purity or quality.
-
Aluminium is infinitely recyclable, lightweight, and highly efficient to transport.
Unlike single-use plastic, which breaks down into microplastics and accumulates in the environment, glass and aluminium can be recycled again and again — using significantly less energy each time.
Lightweight Aluminium. Lower Carbon Footprint
Our aluminium cans are intentionally designed to be lightweight.
This reduces the carbon footprint of:
-
Transport & Delivery
-
Storage & Handling
-
Return & Recycling
Every gram matters — the lighter the can, the lower the emissions from its journey to you.
And because aluminium is one of the most recycled materials in Australia, each can is part of a closed-loop circular system, not a waste cycle.
Bottled at Our Water-Only Facility
Our water is bottled in Victoria at a dedicated water-only facility.
This ensures:
-
No cross-contamination with soft drinks or flavoured beverages
-
Minimal cleaning chemicals
-
Reduced energy use
-
Lower production waste
A cleaner line means a cleaner footprint — and a cleaner taste.
Sourced From Australia. Supporting Local
We are proud to be Australian owned, Australian bottled, and Australian sourced.
By keeping our entire supply chain within Australia, we reduce international freight emissions and support local employment, regional communities, and responsible resource stewardship.
We Are Always Improving
Sustainability is not a finish line — it is a continuous commitment.
We are actively working on:
-
Further reducing packaging weight
-
Increasing local recycling pathways
-
Expanding low-impact distribution channels
-
Working closely with hospitality and retail partners to minimise waste
Because purity is more than taste — it is responsibility.
