Value H2O Office Water Coolers and Dispenssers are Green Water Coolers

Our refillable office water coolers & dispensers and plumbed in office water coolers & dispensers connected directly to your existing water system are green water coolers – much better for the environment and help save the planet. 

We are committed to protecting the planet and reducing our environmental footprint by providing greener alternatives for filtered drinking water to the existing spring water dispenser units and conventional bottled water coolers that are so widely used. We do this with our green water coolers.

Conventional bottled water coolers lead to tonnes of environmental waste with millions of plastic water bottles ending up in landfill each year. Sustainable alternatives to bottled drinking water usage is the clear answer to a greener future and our green water coolers do just that.

Value H2O’s green water coolers, as an alternative to conventional bottled water coolers and typical spring water coolers, are the clear choice for a greener future.

Bottled water has a massive negative impact on the environment. In Australia, 84% of plastic is sent to landfill and only 13% is recycled (National Plastics Plan 2021, via Clean Up Australia), and plastic bottles can take hundreds of years to break down. In addition, the energy required to manufacture and transport to market the mass produced bottles used in most water coolers severely drains limited fossil fuels and contributes heavily to carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.

Environmental Facts

  1. it takes about 3 litres of water to produce 1 litre of bottled water (Pacific Institute)
  2. in the US alone, making the plastic bottles for one year’s bottled water took the equivalent of more than 17 million barrels of oil, enough to fuel more than 1 million cars for a year (Pacific Institute, 2006 data)
  3. spring water producers and bottled water companies, due to their unregulated use of valuable resources and their production of billions of plastic bottles, present a significant strain on the environment
  4. a US study by the Natural Resources Defense Council estimated that 25% or more of bottled water is simply tap water in a bottle, sometimes further treated, sometimes not
  5. whilst spring water is often perceived to be the most superior water type in terms of purity and conjures mental images of as originating from untouched mountain springs, in reality, it’s not always the case

Switching from bottled office water coolers and dispensers to green water coolers like our refillable office water coolers and dispensers or plumbed in office water coolers and dispensers is one of the fastest, easiest and most impactful steps we can take to help the planet.

Help us to save the planet from further pollution and destruction and ‘go green’ by choosing  any of our office water coolers and dispensers – that are all green water coolers – for an endless supply of cool, clear, filtered fresh drinking water that is also eco friendly.
