Top 10 Australian Bottled Water Brands

Our guzzling round-up - by Eliza Murray

Top 10 Australian Bottled Water Brands

In the Australian climate staying hydrated is a non-negotiable. We’re very fortunate in Australia that 93% of households, drinking water comes from mains or town water. 

Bottled water was introduced in Australia in the 1980s and was laughed at, but in 2017, Australians guzzled 583 million L of bottled water. For the Australian economy, the Australasian Bottled Water Institute(ABWI) group estimates the industry is worth about $500 million a year.

When it comes to helping the environment the gold standard is refilling your own stainless steel or glass water bottle, where you can cut down on your bottled water consumption and when you do buy bottled water opt for glass which is the most sustainable packaging. If you’re out and about and looking for a refill download the Tap app to find your closest free refill station.

When it comes to choosing a bottle of water the options are endless, which is why we’ve rounded up the top ten water brands in Australia. So next time you’re in need of a drink you can do just that without being overwhelmed by decision fatigue.

Some concerning statistics around bottled water was brought to light in 2018 when the State University of New York in Fredonia tested more than 250 bottles for microplastics. The study found that 93% of all bottles tested contained some sort of microplastic. The researchers also said there was a global average of 10.4 plastic particles per litre.
