What is Eco-Friendly Bottled Water?
Eco-friendly bottled water negates the detrimental impact that traditional bottled water has on the environment, by using highly innovative and modern eco-friendly techniques. Wave Cayman’s main product, Wave Water, is an example of one of these innovative strategies, where high tech equipment is leased to restaurants and other businesses in the hospitality sector, allowing these businesses to bottle their own still and sparkling water.
Why is bottled water so bad for the environment?
Many bottled water manufacturers still use plastic to bottle their still or sparkling water, which as many of us know, contributes to landfill waste and ocean pollution. Islands are forming in the middle of oceans that are made almost entirely of plastic, and this is a significant problem because of the fact that plastic takes hundreds, if not thousands of years to decompose.
In the Cayman Islands specifically, the issue of plastic waste in landfills and in our oceans is a worrying and growing problem, despite the efforts of some citizens to clean up beaches when possible. The natural beauty of the Cayman Islands relies on keeping the environment clean, and so we need to cut out harmful products where possible.
BOTTLED WATER & CARBON EMISSIONS
Perhaps on a larger scale, though, there is the issue of CO2 emissions arising from bottled water production. This is something that a beach cleanup cannot solve. In the Cayman Islands, all of our bottled water is imported on ships from around the world. Not only does the production process of bottled water cause CO2 emissions from the main bottling plants, but importing hundreds of thousands of tonnes of heavy bottled water each year causes the emission of massive amounts of CO2, which contributes to climate change.
Eco-friendly bottled water can negate each of these negative impacts, leading to a cleaner Cayman Islands.
How can my business implement eco-friendly bottled water?
The technology required to implement eco-friendly water systems is often expensive and requires professional maintenance to ensure that water quality is as high as possible. Whilst businesses in the hospitality sector may decide to purchase their own equipment, we recommend leasing such equipment from a specialist supplier. This will make it more convenient and stress free, and no large capital expenditure is required. Typically, eco-friendly water suppliers such as Wave Cayman will have machines that can be installed quickly and easily in any business, so there is no waiting around for equipment to be shipped in from all around the world.
Simply get in touch with us at Wave Cayman, and we can give you a quote for the services that you require. Once quoted, we can have the machine installed in less than 24 hours!
