The environment and us

We recognise that our water cooler business has an effect on the local, regional & global environment. As a consequence of this, we are committed to continuously improving our own environmental performance & preventing pollution

Did you know?

• Transporting water produces more than 30million tonnes of CO2 every year!
• Nearly 3million tonnes of plastic are used annually for water bottles
• Only about 10% of plastic bottles are re-cycled; most go to landfill sites & can take over 400 years to degrade
• Compared with bottled water many experts think tap water is of a better quality, with a balanced mineral content & a lower risk of contamination

What are we doing about it?

• We minimise waste of all types wherever we can
• We recycle all office paper, waste paper, toner cartridges & packaging stuff
• Our vehicles will use bio-diesel wherever possible & for as long as we all agree it’s better environmentally than normal diesel
• We support the Save A Cup plastic cup-recycling scheme & so should you
• We use electronic communication whenever possible to save paper
• We plan to run on electricity from renewable sources provided by Ecotricity
• We are working towards the very tough ISO14001 environmental accreditation
• All offices & warehouses will be fitted with light sensors that ensure lights are used only when they are actually needed
• We have Hippo minimum flush devices in all our toilets
• 50% of money raised through recycling paper is passed onto a local young people's environmental group
