Marlish Waters switches Northumberland farm factory to all renewable power

Soft drinks firm Marlish Waters has promised its range of drinks flavoured with natural fruit extracts will be made with 100% solar, wind and biomass energy.

The family run brand's Hartburn factory is where its waters, sugar free tonics and mixers are produced and canned. The facility has has undergone investment in technologies to build capacity and efficiency, including new filling technology that means 50% less CO2 is now used in the carbonation of Marlish drinks, along with low voltage lighting, cleaning systems, and better temperature control.

Marlish, which is run by biochemistry graduate Joe Evans and his cousin Elizabeth Warren, said the move in partnership with Go Low Carbon and Pozitive Energy was a step towards becoming fully carbon neutral. The investments come in anticipation of more products due to launch in the next few months.
