You’re not just Drinking Water
The bottled water industry uses more
than 200 million barrels of oil a year for
production, packaging and distribution.
That’s enough oil to power all the cars in
a medium sized country for a whole year.
Getting into Shape for the Future
By implementing an environmentally
positive independent water filtration system
into your venue, you can reduce your
dependency on fossil fuels. All we burn
in the process are a few extra calories.
Make it Heard
79,000 tonnes of plastic is used
annually to manufacture plastic bottles
globally. At 9g each it is enough to
make almost nine billion plastic pens.
Third Time Unlucky
A Good Clean Fight
The average plastic 1 litre water bottle
takes 3 litres of water to produce.
2 litres of water are wasted to
produce one litre …that’s 66%,
the same percentage of people
who suffer from nomophobia,
the anxiety of being without one’s
mobile phone. Getting scared yet?
Cleaning Vivreau glass bottles is as easy
as cleaning coffee pots and carafes.
This means they can be used again
and again just like we do with coffee.
How ludicrous would it be to deliver prefilled coffee pots to your hotel every week
and then dispose of the empty flasks?
Appearances can be Deceiving
Apart from making the bottle,
plastic is also used to package it.
The (Lack of) Thinking behind the Bottle
Freshly Served On Demand
By filtering and bottling your own
water you can guarantee to provide
your customers with freshly bottled,
chilled, still and sparkling water
on demand without the need to
waste valuable refrigeration space.
90% of the cost that goes into bottled water
is spent on bottling, packaging, shipping and
marketing, and only 10% on the actual water
itself. Maybe it has something to do with the
theory that people only use 10% of their brain?
On the Road to Nowhere
If you include the transport involved, it takes 1.7kg
of fossil fuels to produce just 4 plastic bottles.
In other words, the UK’s use of plastic bottles
consumes 580,000 tonnes of fossil fuels each year
– the same weight as 1896 Boeing 747’s.
Cool it Down to Boiling Point
Nothing tastes better than a cold glass
of water. But to cool all the bottles down,
venues use huge amounts of energy.
To power all of the refrigerators in the USA,
it would take the output of 30 power plants.
Increase Your Profits
The Vivreau system delivers unlimited
quantities of bottled still and sparkling
water achieving typical savings of
80% without any capital outlay.
It’s More Ridiculous than
you’d Think, 600 Times More
The average bottle of water is sold for more
than 600 times the price of tap water,
sometimes even more. UK consumers spend
around £2 billion on bottled water each year
– enough to buy 10,000 family homes.
We Like Feeling Used
In fact we encourage it. Vivreau glass
bottles eliminate the need for glass
bottles to be sent to landfill or recycled.
Cost savings and environmentally friendly
…how refreshing!
The Latest Trashy Trend
In 2007, it was estimated that 10 billion
plastic bottles were discarded by the UK.
That’s 160 x 500ml for each of the UK’s
62.5 million citizens. At a height of
20cm, stack them on top of each other
and they’ll circle the earth 30 times.
The Sickness is Spreading
4 out of 5 plastic water bottles
end up in landfills. Only 20% of
all plastic bottles are recycled.
It’s Bigger than All of Us
Once in a landfill, a plastic bottle takes between
450-700 years to decompose. Over time this
plastic ends up in the ocean, creating garbage
patches. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is already
over 5 times bigger than the whole of the UK.
