Whether you’re concerns are with the environment, your health, or your wallet, the answer is pretty clear.

Bottleless coolers just makes more sense than old traditional 5-gallon watercoolers.

Bottled Water Coolers

Water delivery consumes 140 million kilowatt hours of electricity - A staggering amount of power is needed to manufacture plastic jugs, fill them with 5 gallons of water, transport them from facility to facility, and keep them in storage them. As for the coolers themselves, some Energy Star qualified filtered water coolers use 65% less energy than their bottled counterparts.

Water delivery burns 6 million gallons of fuel - It’s not just the fleets of plastic jug delivery trucks that burn fuel in the water delivery lifecycle – manufacturing plastic bottles for the US market alone consumes over 1.5 million of barrels of oil per year.

Water delivery adds 70 million pounds of waste to landfills – Evidence suggests that as much as 80% of all plastic water jugs end up in landfills. Additionally, industrial waste from bottle manufacturing and packaging are also found in landfills.

Water delivery wastes a gallon of water for every gallon of water that is bottled – It takes two to five bottles of water to manufacture a plastic bottle, including all the process steps to extract the petroleum, make the plastic, and form the bottle. Another bottle’s worth of water is then consumed to fill the plastic bottles – water for generating power, washing used bottles before re-use, and in the bottling process.

Bottleless Water Coolers

Bottleless water coolers use cost less financially and environmentally- They do not include the cost premium and infrastructural changes needed for other “green” initiatives like LED lighting, solar panels or hybrid vehicle fleets.

Bottleless water coolers do not waste extra water – Using a pre-existing water supply eliminates the need to bottle entirely and assures only the amount of water needed is actually used.
