Wenlock Spring's Revamped Cans Appeal to Gen Z

— September 25, 2024 — Lifestyle
Water brand Wenlock Spring launched a new look for its still and sparkling water, aiming to catch the eyes of younger consumers on the market for environmentally friendly products. "The younger generation is [...] bringing unique, online-influenced habits to beverage consumption which our industry needs to be aware of, with many seeking eco-friendly products and low and non-alcoholic drinks as they turn to healthier lifestyles," said Wenlock Spring director Matthew Orme.

A new aluminum can takes just 60 days to be recycled and remade into a new one, and needs 95% less energy than raw materials. This closed-loop process protects the environment, reduces the company's carbon footprint and appeals to a new generation of consumers who are invested in these packaging features.
