Message from SANBWA’s Chairman

What a hectic whirl the last five months have been for the bottled water business in the Western Cape. Our one-in-a-hundred-year drought has endured for years now, with some very interesting effects on local bottlers.

FOR MANY YEARS, I’ve thought

the importance of bottled water will only resonate with consumers when water pallets are no longer packed on the shelf, but moved to the shop floor and opened for customers to select. That time has arrived here in Cape Town – so much so that there have almost been fist fights between customers arguing over the last few five litre bottles on the pallet. SANBWA members have been putting on double shifts in an attempt to stay ahead. The holdup has been the supply of five litre bottles, with supply falling short of demand. Interestingly, the same situation holds true for the supply of 5 000l and 10 000l Jo-Jo tanks. A few weeks back, I did some work up in Laingsburg and passed five bakkies with trailers bringing tanks from up north. Another consequence of huge seasonal demand is that unknown labels have proliferated with quite a few newcomers. Folk are imagining this is a big business opportunity. While I hope buying bottled water becomes a habit and creates sustainable demand, I also hope these opportunists realise the huge demand is a specific seasonal spike - unlikely to be maintained in the long run. Activism of Cape citizens with regard to in-house reverse osmosis and ozonation systems is a plus. The realisation has hit home that these systems are selling municipal water, water that citizens are

being urged to save, and these same citizens are super-charged when their 5 000l per month is exceeded. To further raise the levels of ire, citizens now realise that for every litre of water sold, another litre goes down the drain. Quite a few systems have closed. Restaurants selling water from under-the-counter bottling systems do so at big reputational risk. There is nothing activist citizens enjoy more than to name and shame transgressors on talk-radio. A further consequence has been the number of radio and TV talk shows I have appeared on while representing SANBWA. Every time SANBWA issues a media statement, we get a few requests for one of us to appear on their shows. On most of these shows I am asked about quality controls, and can always punt our logo. There’s been a flurry of media reports about micro-plastics detected by researchers in bottled water. This research was conducted on behalf of Orb Media. To quote from their Twitter account, ‘Orb Media is a non-profit fusing #datajournalism and #socialjournalism with on-theground reporting to produce transmedia packages on #global development issues. Washington, DC.’ Orb Media’s position on microplastics seems to be based on the faulty premise that if this substance is found in a bottled water product, it represents a health concern

(see page seven for SANBWA’s full media statement). Neither the WHO nor the US Food & Drug Administration has issued any statement or regulations concerning microplastics in foods and beverages. Microplastics in our environment are ubiquitous. They are found in all the food and drink we consume, and the air we breathe. A major source of microplastics in the environment is tumble driers. Most clothing, sheets and towels have some plastic in them, and when dried they shed. A study in Paris estimates that the ‘rain of microfibers from the air dumps between three and 10 tonnes of fibres on Paris annually.’ This worries me. I fear that this is about to become another of those Internet scare stories that will plague our industry for a long time to come. Herman Bock of Polyoak has written a very good one-pager about microplastics. He opens the article saying it is a storm in a teacup. I hope so.

Yours in quality

John Weaver Chairman

facts consumers should know about BOTTLED WATER AND THE DROUGHT

DROUGHTS HAVE A major

impact on a nation’s emotional, social, economic and political well being. Consumers should equip themselves with the facts, rather than rely on urban legends or fake news. We asked environmental advisor, speaker and author, Dr Anthony Turton and SANBWA chairman John Weaver, five questions about the bottled water industry and the drought in the Western Cape.

Do you believe the bottled water industry is negatively impacting on water available for reticulation?

Dr Turton: No. Literature on water scarcity tells us when problems become acute, the impact is not evenly distributed in society and underlying tensions are amplified or magnified. The drought in the Western Cape is such a case. The public is increasingly alarmed at plastic bottles, so they deflect that anger towards the bottled water industry. Water used for bottling is small compared to total volumes in each system. Given the relatively high value of bottled water, there is an incentive not to waste it.

John Weaver: No, the activities of SANBWA members in the Western Cape – located in Franschhoek, Paarl and Ceres – are not exacerbating the drought in the province. The reasons for this are threefold:

• 90 per cent of SANBWA members’ water sources are bottled from underground sources. That is groundwater as opposed to surface water. These sources must be audited to ensure long-term sustainability prior to membership being granted. All SANBWA members in the Western Cape bottle from groundwater sources.

• Groundwater is strongly buffered against drought influence. Recharge or aquifer renewal, is replenished at between five to 20 per cent per year depending on the underlying geology and topography.

• Water from these groundwater sources would naturally enter the municipal system via rivers and dams. Bottled water originates from sources licenced to private entities by the Department of Water & Sanitation specifically for the use of the water for commercial purposes (bottling water). Volumes extracted are monitored against the licensed limit.

What is the bottled water industry’s role during the drought?

Dr Turton: When Day Zero arrives, bottled water will be one of the vital ways of delivering water to distressed individuals.

John Weaver: The bottled water industry exists as a healthy beverage alternative. In addition, the industry is too small to be the long-term solution to drought. Compared to the total beverage market (including alcoholic) it is tiny – just 3.8 per cent in 2016. Its total size nationally, not just in the Western Cape, for 2016 was 502 million litres. This annual figure is less than the 520 million litres daily target consumption for the City of Cape Town. Members have independent plans to donate and provide water at cost when possible. This includes donations to Water Shortage South Africa and Gift of the Givers, SAPS offices, Western Cape Disaster Management and Blood Bank stores, firefighting teams when they are out on call, and vulnerable communities such as the aged and the disabled.

Do you believe bottled water bottlers should be forced, by government, to bottle water for distribution or that government should annex/attach bottled water companies?

Dr Turton: The fundamental driver of the current Cape Town crisis is the perceived inability of government to provide infrastructure needed to get water to individuals and businesses. It’s a blatant failure of the nationalisation of water that occurred under the 1998 National Water Act. In contrast to this, the bottled water industry is in private hands, and it is not in distress. The logic used to conclude that because a nationalised resource is failing, we need to nationalise the remaining portion of that resource that is still functional, is nothing short of collective suicide.

John Weaver: No, government should not get heavy-handed with bottled water bottlers. Of concern is the misconception that bottling water is an inexpensive business, and that bottlers should easily be able to slash prices. In addition to the licensing fee, there is the considerable cost of ensuring sustainability of source and bottling, packaging and distribution. This includes the investment in plant and equipment, and compliance with

health and safety regulations, packaging and labelling legislation. Another irrational assumption is that industry can simply increase production to supply a spike in demand. The fact is that bottlers’ licences strictly regulate the volume they may extract for bottling.

What is the biggest behavioural change South Africans should make to their daily lives?

Dr Turton: South Africans need to hold elected officials accountable and insist that only technically competent people are placed in charge of water infrastructure management. They need to demand the de-politicisation of water.

John Weaver: I like Dr Turton’s answer but there must also be behavioural changes. When the rains come and our dams are full, we must not go back to our wasteful ways just because there’s an abundance of water. Sustainable water use and PET recycling, just like switching off the light when you leave a room, must become second nature.

What will bottled water’s role be post drought?

Dr Turton: Droughts come and go. The current Cape Town crisis is not about drought. It’s about a failure by the state to adequately provide the bulk infrastructure needed to buffer the economy from the natural variability of our climate regime. Bottled water will play a vital role in the height of the crisis, and will continue to play an important role in post-crisis reconstruction. The challenge for the industry is how to manage the waste arising from discarded bottles.

John Weaver: Bottled water is legislated as a food product in South Africa and competes against other packaged beverages found on retailer shelves, not against tap water. It exists to give consumers a choice, and is the healthiest packaged beverage option for societies plagued by diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Bottled water is the best packaged beverage option for

Dr Anthony Turton the environment.

aQuellé trucks water to and from KwaZulu-Natal to Cape Town

SANBWA MEMBER AQUELLÉ,

was one of several which lent a hand to the drought-stricken Western Cape ahead of Day Zero. Its managing director, Arno Stegen (seen in the photograph handing his completed paperwork to warehouse manager, Gladson Songelwa), joined a convoy of trucks from the company’s KwaZulu- Natal headquarters in February to deliver an initial donation of approximately 30 000l of bottled water to the needy in Cape Town. ‘The drought in the Western Cape is of great concern to us,’ says Stegen while en route after leaving the Kranskop plant. ‘As a brand that is committed to being 100 per cent for people, this is a crisis which we could not simply watch unfold from the sidelines.’ The company delivered the donation to NGO, Water Shortage South Africa, which

in turn distributed the water to registered institutions in the Mother City. This was to aid the elderly and those who would not be able to stand in queues for their daily water quota. aQuellé products consist of natural spring water, sourced from renewable groundwater, which is replenished on an ongoing basis. As a member of SANBWA, aQuellé adheres to the stringent environmental and quality measures to ensure sustainability. There are two sources for the water: the main plant situated in Kranskop, KwaZulu- Natal and a smaller secondary plant in Franschhoek, which services the Western Cape and was set up to reduce the carbon footprint in transporting the product from the main plant. The sources are monitored on an ongoing basis and together with experts in the hydrogeological field, a sustainable extraction rate is determined.

Di Bella Spring Water upgrades bottling facility

D

i Bella Spring Water has upgraded its water bottling facility in the eastern Free State. The 1 000m 2 plant has moved from being a completely manual bottling, blowing and filling operation to a fully automated operation. The plant now fills both PET plastic and glass bottles. According to managing director, Maurizio di Bella, SANBWA’s annual general meeting in October last year in part inspired this upscale in production and efficiency. The concurrent

Propak Cape Expo provided an excellent opportunity for networking, he says. ‘Di Bella placed orders for a variety of production machinery shortly after these two events. The machines subsequently arrived from various points and were quickly commissioned. Production is now in full swing,’ he says. ‘Di Bella now blows and fills more than 2 000 PET bottles an hour for its 500ml, 750ml, one litre, 1.5l, and five litre sizes. Its

new mono-block machine washes, fills, caps, labels, and wraps bottles, cases, and pallets, and its new glass filling line was expected to come on-stream in early April 2018. ‘With this intensification of productive capacity, Di Bella can meet its growing demand for spring water both still and sparkling within and outside South African borders. Di Bella employs five full-time employees. It is now looking for a full-time experienced technician to support operations.’

Ripples & WavesIncreased PET in the Western Cape puts pressure on recycling

THIS EARTH DAY (April 22),

Capetonians faced not one, but two, significant challenges – that of running out of water and the potential waste crisis as the city’s landfills rapidly reach maximum capacity. Reports quoted the Western Cape Environmental Affairs Department as saying that some of the province’s landfill sites could reach full capacity in less than a year. Environmental Affairs MEC spokesperson James-Brent Styan says less than half the province’s 164 landfill sites are operational. One of the factors contributing to this situation is the opposition towards new initiatives like regional waste disposal sites and waste-to-energy plants (http://www. infrastructurene.ws/2018/04/11/wastecrisis-looms-in-the-western-cape/). With the increase in consumption of bottled water in Cape Town, the volume of bottles needing recycling is threatening to overwhelm local recycling capacity. It’s a fact South African National Bottled Water Association (SANBWA) members are working to address. According to SANBWA executive director, Charlotte Metcalf, joint efforts driven by PETCO and supported by its members and associate members (including bottled water producers) aim to prevent these additional bottles having to be sent to landfill.

They are achieving this by transporting baled bottles to a recycling facility with excess capacity in Gauteng for processing. Consumers can also play their part. ‘Working together with PETCO, SANBWA has sponsored another truckload and so too has Woolworths, which saw bottled water sales soar during February and March this year,’ she says. ‘I spend a considerable part of my day seeking additional sponsors so we can relieve the pressure on recycling facilities in the Western Cape. Consumers can help by following a few simple guidelines laid out by PETCO.

SANBWA welcomes new associate member

Fontana Manufacturers

ANBWA welcomes new associate member Fontana Manufacturers into its fold. This manufacturing company specialises in plastic packaging for the beverage industry. Fontana provides an extensive range of carbonated and noncarbonated beverage closures, preforms and blown bottles. All manufacturing is done in KwaZulu- Natal, while depots in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth allow it to

‘SANBWA urges Capetonians to look at both their water usage and their waste processing in a new light, and to make the change that a sustainable future in this beautiful part of the world requires. ‘It also challenges bottled water bottlers and retailers to follow Woolworths’ example to sponsor transport of baled bottles to recycling facilities in other parts of the country.’ Chandru Wadhwani, joint managing director of Extrupet and PETCO board member explains: ‘For me the pressing driver is to ensure the extra volume of PET bottles that has found its way to the Western Cape on the back of the water crisis finds a home in recycled products. ‘Just by way of scale, each of the 15MT loads sponsored by SANBWA and Woolworths represents half a million bottles recycled; half a million bottles that otherwise would not have been. This is the ultimate value of this initiative and companies like Woolworths, and bodies like SANBWA, need to be commended for setting the perfect example of what extended producer responsibility entails.’ South Africa currently recycles more than 55 per cent of its PET, one of the highest rates worldwide. Extrupet has a fibre producing plant in Milnerton in Cape Town and a Bottle- 2-Bottle plant in Wadeville, Johannesburg. Here recycled PET plastic bottles are used to manufacture new bottles for many food-grade applications or recycled into a myriad of new and useful products such as polyester fibre for duvets and pillows, jeans and t-shirts, and reusable shopping bags. This process has made South Africa a self-sufficient manufacturer of polyester fibre, no longer reliant on imports.

service customers throughout the country. Fontana has been accredited with an AA pass by the BRC packaging materials standard for the past four years. It is proud to have been acknowledged as the first in this line of business in South Africa and Africa to achieve this prestigious accreditation. BRC Packaging Materials Standard is recognised globally and is the first standard in the world to be recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GSFI).

Plastic, plastic everywhere

Late in March, the media gave

considerable coverage to a story claiming that leading brands of bottled water are contaminated with tiny plastic particles that are likely seeping in during the packaging process. ‘Widespread contamination’ with plastic was found in the study, led by microplastic researcher Sherri Mason of the State University of New York at Fredonia, according to a summary released by Orb Media, a US-based non-profit media collective. Researchers tested 250 bottles of water in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Lebanon, Mexico, Thailand, and the US. Plastic was identified in 93 per cent of the samples, which included major name brands. Plastic debris included polypropylene, nylon, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used to make bottle caps. Particle concentration ranged from ‘zero to more than 10 0001.pdf likely plastic 1 2018/05/10 particles in a 16:49 single bottle.’ On average, plastic particles in the

100 micron (0.10 millimetre) size range, considered ‘micro plastics’, were found at an average rate of 10.4 plastic particles per litre. ‘In this study, 65 per cent of the particles we found were actually fragments and not fibres,’ Mason says. ‘I think it is coming through the process of bottling the water. I think most of the plastic we are seeing is coming from the bottle itself, it is coming from the cap, it is coming from the industrial process of bottling the water.’ SANBWA’s affiliate agency in the US, International Bottled Water Association, issued a formal statement:

The non- peer reviewed study released by Orb Media is not based on sound science. There is no scientific consensus on testing methodology or the potential health impacts of microplastic particles. Therefore, this study’s findings do nothing more than unnecessarily scare consumers.

Scientific experts in the field told the BBC News, ‘The particles below 100 microns had not been identified as plastic’ and that ‘since the alternatives would not be expected in bottled water, they could be described as probably plastic’. Those notidentified substances made up the vast majority of particles counted. The study even acknowledged that the make- up of those particles was not confirmed but could ‘rationally expected to be plastic.’

The study’s ‘probably plastic’ findings are weak at best and reporting it as news is alarmist and not responsible journalism.

Microplastic particles are found everywhere – soil, air, and water. As the report states, currently there is no evidence that microplastics can cause harm to consumers.

Orb Media is not an objective news outlet. In the past, Orb Media has shown itself to be an organisation that has preconceived positions on issues and produces studies that support its point of view.

Consumers can remain confident that bottled water products, like all food and beverages, are strictly regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are safe for consumption. The bottled water industry is committed to providing consumers with the safest and highest quality products.

Provided below are additional points, in more detail on this study:

• The Orb Media- sponsored research focuses solely on bottled water products. However, it is important to note that thousands of other food and beverage products also use plastic containers and, perhaps even more important, that microplastic particles are found in all aspects of our environment – soil, air and water.

• To date, there is no applicable regulatory framework or scientific consensus with respect to the adequate testing methodology or potential impacts of microplastic particles, which could be found in any bottling environment.

• There is no scientific consensus on the potential health impacts of microplastic particles. The data on the topic is limited and conclusions differ dramatically from one study to another.

• A recent scientific study published in the peer- reviewed journal Water Research in February 2018 concluded that no statistically relevant amount of microplastic can be found in water in single- use plastic bottles. (Analysis of microplastics in water by micro- Raman spectroscopy: Release of plastic particles from different packaging into mineral water by Schymanski et al.)

• Orb Media’s position on microplastics seems to be based on the faulty premise that if this substance is found in a bottled water product that it presents a health concern, even if no regulatory standard has been established. Because there is no scientific consensus about the potential health impacts of microplastic particles, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not issued any regulations concerning these substances in foods

and beverages. Any regulatory action concerning microplastic particles would need to be based on sound science, including demonstrating a correlation between the levels of this substance found in food and beverages and any potential adverse health effects.

• Despite the claims about microplastics by Orb Media, consumers can remain confident in the safety and quality of their bottled water products. Bottled water, as a packaged food product, is strictly and comprehensively regulated by the FDA. All bottled water products are produced utilising a multibarrier approach. From source to finished product, a multi- barrier approach helps prevent possible harmful contamination to the finished product as well as storage, production and transportation equipment. Many of the steps in a multi- barrier system is effective in safeguarding bottled water from microbiological and other contamination. Measures in a multibarrier approach may include one or more of the following: source protection, source monitoring, reverse osmosis, distillation, micro- filtration, carbon filtration, ozonation, and ultraviolet (UV) light.

• As always, the bottled water industry is committed to providing consumers with the safest and highest quality products and we are following any scientific developments on this subject closely.

SANBWA believes it is limited in its ability to provide an informed response to what appears to be an unsubstantiated and non-peer reviewed research project because it has not seen the research. It does believe, when considering the report’s findings, journalists and consumers should be mindful of the fact that thousands of other food and beverage products also use plastic containers; therefore, it cannot be assumed that these findings would be limited to bottled water.
