There is much less transport, production and waste involved. A lot of air is transported, especially in the case of water tanks and bottles with a deposit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">If you go for a water cooler, then only the machine has to be produced once, but it will last for a very long time: up to ten years. This also applies to the dispenser at the water tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Tap water from the tap is the most sustainable, but even then you need a refrigerator to get it really cool and unfortunately there is no sparkling water from the tap.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/watertanks.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15076 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/watertanks.jpg 840w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/watertanks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/watertanks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/watertanks-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><\/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=\"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 class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"bronwater-of-mineraalwater\">Spring water or mineral water?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">What&#8217;s the deal?

Did you know that you shower in Utrecht with Bar Le Duc?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">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-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7e5fce0a 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><\/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 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=\"wat-is-goedkoper\">What&#8217;s cheaper?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Putting tap water in the fridge is by far the most beneficial. For the other options, it all depends on how much water you drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">You can often purchase the dispenser for free with the water tanks. After that you only pay a lot per water tank. With average consumption, this can add up considerably. The same goes for bottled spring water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">If you want to tap chilled and sparkling water from a water cooler, you need a <font color=\"#2797d7\"><span style=\"caret-color: rgb(39, 151, 215);\"><a href=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/en\/water-at-work\/\">machine<\/a><\/span><\/font>, which is quite expensive. That is why most parties also offer this with a rental price per week or per month. In addition, you occasionally have to purchase new carbon dioxide cylinders. Converted per litre, the price is very manageable and decreases with more use.<\/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\/07\/Betalen-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15080 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Betalen-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Betalen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Betalen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Betalen-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Betalen-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Betalen.jpg 2048w\" 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-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=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/flesje-kantoor-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11835 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/flesje-kantoor-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/flesje-kantoor-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/flesje-kantoor-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/flesje-kantoor-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/madeblue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/flesje-kantoor.jpg 1200w\" 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=\"maatschappelijk-verantwoord\">Corporate Responsibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">What are the options if you would like to link a good cause to your water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Most suppliers of water coolers do not have a solution for this.

That is why every water cooler in the office provides at least 1,000,000 liters of clean drinking water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">In this way, each water cooler ensures that 137 people have access to enough drinking water for a year to drink, cook and wash safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">That is a lot of impact and you should talk about it. That is why we also supply a communication package with every water cooler and you can call yourself an ambassador of Made Blue.
