Save water in your hotel
(Hot) water is the second largest energy user for an average hotel and that is a considerable cost item with the current gas prices.
What if you could convince guests to take shorter showers in combination with some water-saving techniques?
Huge expense
Enjoying water in the hotel room is a matter of course for us, but it is by no means free. On average, guests enjoy a shower in a hotel room for no less than 7.5 minutes. In addition, the water comes from the tap at the sink and flushes the toilet.
With the current prices for water and electricity, the costs rise to more than one euro per guest per night. For a hotel with 200 rooms, this quickly exceeds 50,000 euros per year.
Enjoy water to give water
We let you save an average of 100 litres of water per hotel night by involving the guest in a nice way. Your guest can then donate these litres to a water project of their choice. For example, every overnight stay provides a whole day of clean drinking water for a family in Uganda or Bangladesh, for example.
We have calculated that a guest only needs to shower 15 seconds shorter to recoup a donation of 5 cents per night. (That is 3% shorter with an average shower of 7.5 minutes.) So every extra second or water-saving technique immediately yields a lot of money. Calculate below how much it can yield for you.

Interaction with your guest
Our free communication materials such as stickers, door hangers or towel cards ask the guest to donate the saved 100 liters on your behalf to a water project of your choice. Would you rather design your own communication? We are of course happy to help you with texts, images and examples.
This makes it clear to the guest that your hotel uses water consciously and the guest is subtly stimulated to cooperate. We also give tips to the guest on what he or she can do to help.

Water in the hotel room
Water in the hotel room is part of it, but it does create a lot of waste and deposits have made PET bottles expensive.
We have the perfect alternative: a reusable, sustainable water bottle that guests can fill themselves in the lobby.
The Bottle Made Blue
A reusable water bottle made of indestructible Tritan: rock-hard, crystal clear and unbreakable. The bottle is BPA-free, made in the Netherlands, recyclable and dishwasher safe.
Never before has a reusable water bottle of this quality been so affordable and completely customizable: available from €1.50 each.
Most importantly, each bottle provides 500 litres of clean drinking water in our water projects! At least 3.5 kg of CO2 emissions are also saved and more than 4 kg of plastic waste is avoided. Read how it works here…
Water point for guests
Let your guests fill their own bottle with filtered (and cooled) tap water, that’s so sustainable! It also saves you a lot of work and you have a nice communication point, such as this example from Novotel Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
A water tap is available at cost, or can be borrowed including maintenance and service. In combination with the use of the Bottle Made Blue, we are even able to offer the tap for free under certain conditions.
Bottled water
Perhaps you prefer to put pre-packaged water in the hotel room? We also have various affordable solutions for this, but always with a strong message: 100 liters of water per package.
We can deliver from stock or via wholesalers, but also with our own design in certain quantities. We like to think along with you.
