More hotels are taking steps to eliminate single-use plastic by including filtered water dispensers in communal areas and encouraging guests to use reusable bottles, rather than single-use bottled water.

Christian Schmitt, International Key Account Manager for the hospitality sector at BRITA, shares more information and the key benefits water dispenser solutions can offer hotel and restaurant operators.

Sustainability

Food waste is responsible for 10% of global CO2 emissions, and this includes beverages like single-use plastic bottled water. People often take a sip – then the rest gets thrown away.

You can simply cut out the waste and emissions associated with the manufacturing, transport and disposal of single-use plastic bottles by using water dispensers. BRITA water dispensers can save up to 86% CO2e compared to bottled water.

Cost savings

There are also considerable cost savings to using water dispensers rather than bottled water. Take a hotel with 350 bedrooms, a restaurant and meeting rooms. In this case, using water dispensers rather than bottled water can save up to 13t CO2 per year – and up to €50,000!
