Monchique water 100% recycled bottles
Monchique waters has launched a bottle of mineral water with recycled PET (rPET) and for every million bottles produced, approximately 30 thousand kilograms of virgin PET will no longer be consumed, which represents an estimated annual saving of 100 tonnes of virgin PET.
According to a note sent to
The Portugal News, Monchique integrates the ambitious commitment into their business plan in a bid to reduce its environmental footprint and this has led the company to be able to reach the EU 2030 target some 10 years earlier than expected regarding the integration of 30 percent of recycled PET in its packaging.

ZAGREB, Croatia -
A view of damaged building in Croatia.
On Monday, December 28, at 6:38 a.m. we were woken up by an earthquake in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. The magnitude was 5.2 on the Richter-scale and the epicenter was 50 kilometers (30 miles) away, in the region of the city of Petrinja. My earthquake app, installed on my phone after the Zagreb earthquake of March 22, notified me of the magnitude of two anticipated aftershocks.
Wounds were still fresh from another earthquake of 5.3 magnitude that had hit the capital on March 22 in the midst of the pandemic lockdown. The quake claimed one life and left 27 people wounded. It damaged numerous buildings, and basically the entire historical city center. My own house suffered some damage, and the building of a language institute I own and run was practically destroyed and required serious renovation. Many Jewish communal institutions were also damaged, among them the Jewish community building
