  • Before-and-After Comparison

    Before-and-After Comparison

    Initial assessment (bottle purchases, waste, costs) to measure the actual impact of your switch to the water cooler.

  • Auditable data

    Auditable data

Additional Commitments

Beyond the Bottles

✓ Careful selection of materials: sustainable, recyclable, and locally sourced whenever possible. No product greenwashing.
✓ Optimized logistics, algorithm-calculated delivery routes, and vehicles maintained to current standards.
✓ Circular economy for consumables: refillable water bottles reusable for 70 cycles; used filters processed through dedicated recycling channels.
✓ End-of-life recycling: after 8 to 10 years, disassembly, separation of components, and appropriate recycling channels.

Your Questions About CSR

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many plastic bottles are we actually avoiding?

    For a team of 30 people: 6,000 to 10,000 33-cl bottles saved per year. For 100 people: 20,000 to 35,000 bottles. The exact figures depend on actual consumption, as measured by our reporting.

  • Is a water cooler's carbon footprint really lower than that of bottled water?

    Yes, and by a wide margin. A leading study (ADEME) estimates that a 50-cl plastic bottle accounts for approximately 80 g CO₂eq over its life cycle. For every 10,000 bottles avoided: 800 kg CO₂eq saved over the course of a year.

  • Are your water fountains subject to an audit as part of a B Corp or CSRD process?

    Yes. Our reports provide data on volumes, plastic avoided (equivalent), and CO₂ equivalent. This data is based on actual, auditable meter readings. For particularly rigorous requirements, our customer service team can provide additional specific details upon request.

  • What do you do with gas cylinders at the end of their useful life?

    After approximately 70 cycles, the bottles are recycled through the dedicated polycarbonate recycling stream. The recovered material can be reused for other industrial applications.

  • Are you working toward carbon neutrality?

    By design, our business helps reduce our clients’ emissions. For our own operations (logistics, energy), we are working to continuously measure and reduce our emissions. Commitment to carbon neutrality by [TO BE CONFIRMED with the client].
