Description
Global plastic bottle consumption continues at the alarming rate of 600 billion plastic bottles per year. Only around 9% of waste plastics are recycled, meaning that the remainder end up being landfilled, incinerated, or leaking out into our natural environment to pollute our lakes, rivers, oceans, and our food system. Although we have been led to believe that bottled water is better than tap, researchers are now raising the alarm on worrying levels of microplastic and nanoplastic being detected in bottled water. Trust in tap water quality is also at an all-time global low.
Bluewater works to tackle plastic waste and transform behaviours towards more sustainable hydration practices by innovating next-generation drinking water dispensing solutions for home, work, and play. Bluewater solutions use advanced water purification and mineralisation technologies to create pure, delicious, and planet-friendly drinking water when and where it's needed, thereby ending the reliance on polluting single-use plastics. Our project proposal seeks to place a Bluewater Flow refill solution at each of the 8 state-run secondary schools in Dundee. The dispensers will therefore provide an innovative and sustainable premium and health-focused drinking water refill solution for staff, pupils and guests to the schools.
