Why a water dispenser at work is not sustainable<\/h2>\n\n

You know them: the plastic water tank or water dispenser that is parked somewhere in a corner of the office.<\/strong> Every now and then a bit of cold water is tapped. An excellent system for chilled water, you might think. <\/strong>Yet there are better and more sustainable alternatives. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Transport and lugging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although the water dispenser produces nice chilled water, it is not very sustainable. After all, the water has to be transported in bottles or tanks of 19 litres and the empty tanks have to be collected again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also disposable bottles that fit in the water dispenser, but they create a lot of plastic waste that is certainly not always neatly separated in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the stock of water tanks takes up a lot of space in the office and it causes a lot of lugging. The water barrels are not very cheap either. All this while getting perfect water from every tap in the office. That is also cool but not cold. Can’t it be otherwise?<\/p>\n<\/div>
