Radnor Hills and Ardagh keeping top golfers refreshed

We’ve teamed up with Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP) once again to produce bespoke canned drinks to help keep elite golfers hydrated at some of golf’s leading professional events this year.

It’s the fourth year that Radnor and AMP, a leading global supplier of recyclable, sustainable, metal beverage cans and ends to brand owners, have produced co-branded infinitely recyclable cans of spring water for the PGA European Tour.

We’re proud to be the official water supplier for a number of high-profile DP World Tour golf tournaments this summer.

Our canned mineral water will be available to players, caddies and marshalls, from a number of fridges and specially branded water coolers around the tees and practice grounds at various events. The infinitely recyclable metal cans can be efficiently collected for recycling at each event.

Top player Scottie Schleffer, current world number one, was pictured with a Radnor can at the press conference at the Scottish Open.

At last year’s event, players including Rory McIlroy, Bob MacIntyre and Tom Kim were spotted with one of Radnor’s cans.

The DP World Tour’s ‘Green Drive’ sustainability programme has seen it become the first professional golf Tour to commit to being net carbon zero by 2040. This forms part of the Tour’s wider Golf for Good programme – a commitment to being environmentally and socially sustainable and ensuring the Tour has a positive long-term impact on the courses, countries and the communities visited each season.

The metal packaging industry is the perfect example of a circular economy, with metal recycling forever in a material-to-material loop.

When metal products reach the end of their useful life, the materials are simply collected and recycled, again and again, with no loss of their inherent properties. This is known as real recycling. The metal packaging industry and its recycling stakeholders are committed to a real-recycling society.

Simon Knight, Managing Director of Radnor Hills, said: “We’re delighted to be working with the DP World Tour for the fourth year and to be supporting them with their sustainability strategy.

“Like us, the DP World Tour is environmentally focused and they wanted a partner whose environmental goals aligned to create a cleaner, greener future.

“Working together with Ardagh, it’s exciting to see the difference a truly collaborative approach can make in embedding sustainability best practice.”

Vincent Lefevre, CEO Ardagh Metal Packaging-Europe, said: “AMP’s partnership with Radnor Hills at the Scottish Open reflects a shared commitment to sustainability.

“By introducing aluminium cans, we’re cutting down on packaging waste and setting a new standard for environmentally responsible sporting events, all while keeping players and fans refreshed.”
