First of all, it is more <a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/why-is-locally-bottled-water-more-sustainable\/\">sustainable<\/a> because it requires much less transport and production. Only the machine and your glassware have to be produced once, but they both last a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to bottle your own water and choose Made Blue, you will also save significant <a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/why-the-best-water-for-the-world\/\">CO<sub>2<\/sub><\/a> in developing countries. It works like this: Made Blue provides 1,000 times the content of clean drinking water in developing countries for every bottle of water served. The people who benefit from this no longer have to boil water before they can drink it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:110px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\" id=\"wat-is-duurzamer\">Which is more convenient?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Many hospitality entrepreneurs have little space behind the bar or in the kitchen. If you opt for spring water, you will always have a number of bottles in the refrigerator and in your storage. In addition, your glass container is full faster or you have to keep space for packaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">If you go for a water dispenser from which you tap cooled and sparkling water yourself, you only need some space for the water cooler on or under the bar and a few empty bottles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Catering entrepreneurs also indicate that tapping water yourself requires much fewer actions, up to <a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/a-water-cooler-reduces-your-operations-with-60\/\">60%<\/a>, and that of course saves time.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sfeer-1-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10239 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sfeer-1-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sfeer-1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sfeer-1-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sfeer-1-200x125.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/sfeer-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:110px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-blue-background-color has-background\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:60%\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d23441aef850859110a2059843545d81\">Clean drinking water for all<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bb734a35c53617ac3e80cdc5f48cbe96\">More than 700 million people still don&#8217;t have access to safe water. <br\/>We are the Made Blue Foundation and our mission is clean drinking water for all. <br\/>Will you help us achieve our mission?

We know that the price is between 80 cents and 1.20 euros depending on your brand and volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to tap water yourself, you need a machine and some <a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/glassware\/\">glassware<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/water-dispensers\/\">machine<\/a> in particular is quite pricey. That is why most parties also offer this with a rental price per week or per month. All in all, however, it is almost always cheaper per bottle, unless you only serve a few bottles per evening.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-right\" id=\"bronwater-of-mineraalwater\">Spring water or mineral water?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">What&#8217;s the deal? In short: mineral water always comes from a recognized mineral source. Well water is little more than water from any source and that can be your water pipe too. Did you know that you shower in Utrecht with Bar Le Duc?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Is bottled water inferior to the quality of spring water? Certainly not: with all the options for filtration, cooling, carbonization and mineralization, it is no longer necessary to buy <a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/what-is-the-difference-between-mineral-water-and-spring-water\/\">spring water or mineral water<\/a> from the factory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-ae2fe186 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-ghost\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/what-is-the-difference-between-mineral-water-and-spring-water\/\">Read more about the differences<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Bruisend-water-in-glas-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11733 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruisend-water-in-glas-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruisend-water-in-glas-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruisend-water-in-glas-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruisend-water-in-glas-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bruisend-water-in-glas.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-not-stacked-on-mobile has-white-color has-lightgray-background-color has-text-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:5%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-blue-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:100px\">&#8220;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:90%\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>It saves me a lot of lugging, refrigerated space and packaging.

But what if you would like to link it to a good cause?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Most suppliers of water coolers do not have a solution for this. You are then dependent on providers of spring water such as Earthwater and Marie Stella Maris. They donate a small percentage of the profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Only Made Blue offers water coolers and glassware at cost price and includes a very transparent donation.

Only 16% are unwilling to pay for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">If your water is linked to a charity, people are on average willing to pay up to 75% more for it!
