Nearly 700 Dutch companies have now obtained this quality mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also go for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eko-horeca.nl\">EKO-certification Horeca<\/a>. This way you know that controlled organic products are used in the kitchen. With the compliments of the chef!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More internationally recognized and perhaps more geared towards hotels and the travel industry is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenglobe.com\">Green Globe<\/a> certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically for the Netherlands, there are also the <a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/made-blue-ambassadors-win-gaia-green-awards\/\">Gaia Green Awards<\/a> that are presented every year during Gastvrij Rotterdam.

First of all, it is more sustainable because much less transport and production is coming to fit. 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 class=\"has-text-align-right\">That is why serving locally bottled water certainly counts for sustainable quality marks for the hospitality industry such as the Green Key, Green Globe and the EKO quality mark. <\/p>\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\/2021\/05\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13959 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/MADE-BLUE-Fotos-Streetfoodclub-Fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-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-columns are-vertically-aligned-center 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.

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 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>There is a product that we can get for free and unlimited at home, but still want to buy for two thousand times the price in the supermarket: water in a bottle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.24kitchen.nl\/populair\/supermarkttrucs?fbclid=IwAR1Uzqk2SZJrnKGUfP0QV9jt0Bf1HeryWE23cGWq3U2ID7TMYVDDb99gHqM\">Teun van de Keuken on 24Kitchen<\/a><\/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:5%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-blue-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:100px\">&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text aligncenter is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-center\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-33-landscape-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18077 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-33-landscape-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-33-landscape-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-33-landscape-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-33-landscape-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MADE-BLUE-Impactreis-Ethiopie-fotograaf-Anne-Harteman-33-landscape.jpg 1267w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"goede-doelen-waters\">Water for charity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Tapping water yourself is therefore more sustainable, easier and cheaper than buying spring water or mineral water. 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.

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!
