Filtered water taps in the office don’t just boost productivity and ensure safety; they also score big for the environment. Here’s a comprehensive look at why boiling, chilled, and sparkling office water filtration systems are the better choice for any office.
Benefits Of Office Water Filtration Systems
Reduce Plastic Pollution
Every minute, one million plastic bottles are purchased globally. Most of these end up in landfills or polluting oceans, where they can take centuries to decompose, harming marine life and entering the human food chain. In Australia, fewer than 40% of plastic bottles are recycled, meaning the majority contribute to an escalating environmental crisis.
Filtered water systems eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottles, offering a sustainable, eco-friendly solution to your hydration needs.
Cut Down On Carbon Emissions
The environmental cost of bottled water is staggering:
- Pumping, packaging, transporting, and chilling bottled water generates over 60,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually in Australia.
- Imported bottled water further exacerbates the issue, wasting energy on global transport and refrigeration.
Installing a water filtration system, such as a Zip HydroTap or similar, can dramatically reduce your office’s carbon footprint by eliminating the need for energy-intensive bottled water.
Save Water With Efficient Filtration Systems
It takes 3–7 litres of water to produce just one litre of bottled water. Additionally, many bottled water portions go to waste simply because the container size doesn’t match your thirst. With an office filtration system, employees can pour exactly the amount they need, ensuring minimal water waste and maximizing efficiency.
Energy Savings With Filtered Water Systems
Think about the energy used to refrigerate bottled water in cafes, vending machines, and offices. A filtered water tap system provides boiling, chilled, or sparkling water on demand, eliminating the need for energy-draining refrigeration and contributing to long-term energy savings for your workplace.
Leverage Australia’s World-Class Water Infrastructure
Australia boasts one of the most advanced water supply systems globally, with clean, safe tap water readily available in most cities and towns. Yet, despite our exceptional infrastructure, many offices still rely on bottled water. Filtered water taps take full advantage of this resource, delivering safe, great-tasting water straight from the tap without unnecessary waste or expense.
Combat Bottled Water Myths
Marketing campaigns have convinced us we need imported, premium bottled water, but the reality is far different:
- Bottled water production consumes one litre of oil per litre of water, depleting finite resources.
- Many bottled brands come from the same sources as tap water but are sold at a hefty markup.
By choosing office water filtration, you break free from these marketing myths, opting for a solution that’s better for your budget and the environment.
