Like any other industrial activity, bottled water is not completely innocuous to the environment. Manufacturing, recycling or incinerating bottles of water needs energy and creates pollution. Trading and transporting bottled water all over the world has obviously a negative impact on the environment, mainly through fuel combustion and the release of polluting particles into the atmosphere.

Each year, 89 billion litres of bottled water are sold and a mountain of plastic bottles are buried in landfill sites. A mains fed water cooler provides safe, pure and chilled drinking water without the landfill and transportation impacts of bottled water. Water Smart provides re-cyclable plastic cups and www.save-a-cup.co.uk details available from us. They will collect your empty cups and recycle them into other products.
