Our environmental position

How many times a day do you see a water cooler truck or van delivering bottles?? Absolutely loads ?? Well there's a very good reason for that... last year there was over 400 million litres of water delivered in the UK by bottled water cooler companies. That's around 22 million large bottles!.. 22 million bottles of water delivered by a fleet of trucks and vans that don't have to be on the road..

Delivering water in plastic bottles that won't break down for hundreds of years. To put that into perspective if you laid all the bottles delivered last year end to end they’d go all the way round the world…TWICE. The combined environmental cost of all this is obviously massive ...but we have an alternative.

By plumbing your cooler into the mains and then professionally filtering the water INSIDE the machine we remove the need for all these plastic bottles and therefore the need to deliver them.. and because, unlike most of our competitors, we use ONLY plumbed water coolers, we only need a very small fleet of vans (and no trucks) to install and regularly service our coolers throughout the country.

As far as we're aware we're the first and, so far, only cooler company in Scotland that's both carbon neutral and carbon footprint approved.

In addition to being carbon neutral we’re also taking the following actions:-

• Working in partnership with environmental charity global trees to offset our customer’s individual coolers and increase awareness.
• Recycling our filters where possible.
• Promotion of the save-a-cup system of recycling plastic cups via our website (www.save-a-cup.co.uk)
• Encouraging our customers to use a glass instead of plastic cups to cut down on use of plastic.
• Use of biodegradable products for service and sanitisation of our coolers
• Adherence to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) legislation relating to responsible disposal of electrical equipment via our suppliers.
