Water supply for modern workplaces

The Modern Approach to Water Supply

From the federal government to local municipalities: Since the beginning of this year, authorities are no longer allowed to procure beverages in single-use containers or cans—a new government directive prohibits it for the sake of the climate.What applies to the public sector could quickly become the new standard for private businesses as well—the trend is clear and urgently needed. Plastic bottles have already piled up into gigantic mountains of waste or are floating in our oceans and rivers. The habitats of aquatic life and the creatures themselves are severely impacted. Glass deposit bottles are not a real alternative. They often travel many miles from the bottler to the retailer and then to customers, producing more CO2 during manufacturing than their plastic counterparts.It’s a good thing if you’ve already considered an ecologically sound alternative for the office. It’s ideal if the team is also enthusiastic about the proposed environmental measure because it can only have its full impact when understood and accepted. It’s helpful to know: How can the effects be expressed in numbers, data, and facts and made transparent? To what extent does the environment benefit, and how can this be communicated internally and externally?Sustainable: Water from the In-House SourceUsing water from your own tap ensures that transportation for delivery and return is eliminated. This reduces CO2 emissions as well as the load on transportation routes. Overall, using refillable glass bottles with water dispensers reduces environmental impact by up to 90% compared to bottled water.A company with 100 employees can save up to 500 kg of plastic waste per year by assuming a consumption of one liter of water per person per working day.
