With the earth running out of many natural resources, the great challenge of our generation is to create a sustainable balance between the needs of people and the resources of the planet. Belu was set up as a social enterprise to use the tools of business to help develop such a sustainable future. Our efforts so far have primarily focused on reducing the environmental impact of the drinks industry by creating a more eco-friendly brand of bottled water.

Although tap water is generally the most eco-friendly source of water, in situations where tap water is not available or not the chosen option, and for countries where tap water is not safe, Belu seeks to demonstrate the feasibility of the next most eco-friendly option. Thus far, Belu has successfully created the world’s first carbon neutral bottled water, launched the UK’s first plastic bottle made from corn not oil, promotes PVC-free bottle caps and provides over 40,000 people overseas with access to clean water.

Our future depends on creating an environmentally sustainable economy. Belu is one step in this direction.
