"Cleary Sustainable" At Park Corner Farm
Glastonbury Spring Water appreciates the need in reducing /off setting our carbon footprint where at all possible. When taking on our new build at Park Corner Farm, Glastonbury, the environment & climate change heavily influenced the way we carried out the design.
We developed a run down council farm into a state of the art production facility with every aspect of the design encompassing recyclable or renewable materials
wherever possible.
All bricks in the build were reclaimed from the previous farm buildings. Sheep's wool was used as insulation for the roof. Under floor heating installed with a ground source heat pump to warm the offices & production areas & solar panels introduced to provide hot water for our bottling plant.
A reed bed sewerage waste system completed the installation. Now the plant is fully operational all plastics, , bottles & wrapping are recycled locally as well as cardboard. We are continually striving further towards our green goals.
