Judy Woodgate started a bottling plant in 1997 after discovering the high quality of spring water on her Tsitsikamma farm. The company follows the philosophy of “we take from nature, so we need to give back to nature”. Since the very first bottle was sold in 1997, Tsitsikamma Spring Water has donated to the Dolphin Action and Protection Group to help with the Save the Whales campaign. In 2014 Tsitsikamma Crystal started donating to GRUWing, which provides air support for rhino protection and wildlife crimes. For more information, visit http://www.gruwing.co.za/. Tsitsikamma Spring Water continues to make a difference by donating for every bottle sold, as they have done since 1997.




The water is bottled using state-of-the-art machinery. The company is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint and has worked hard to create bottles that are as sustainable as possible.
They blow their own preforms and bottles on site, reducing our carbon footprint. By clever design, they recently reduced the weight of their 5L bottles to contain 22% less plastic per bottle. It is the lightest 5L bottle on the market in South Africa. The bottling facility also makes use of renewable solar energy, which has resulted in significant energy savings, the equivalent of 109 tons of CO2 emissions saved per year (or 365 trees per year – or a tree a day).
The mission statement of “best product, best service and best relationships” holds true. The team lives by the mission statement and takes great pride in delivering the best product to their customers.
According to PETCO Chief Executive Officer, Cheri Scholtz, in 2018, an average of 6.2 million PET plastic bottles were collected every day for recycling across South Africa, creating 68,000 income-generating opportunities for small and micro-collectors – an increase in the 2017 total of 64,000.
