Plup Water is spring water from the Anttila well in Lestijärvi, Finland. The Finish company sells each Plup Water bottle for 10 euros, the proceeds going to the Baltic Sea Action Group which helps clean up the Baltic Sea.
Each bottle holds a pint of water and is made from highly recyclable plastic. The range is going to expand this year with different colours and bottle designs available.
