+350%

the transport of goods will increase

The population of our earth is growing rapidly – by 2050 there will be more than 10 billion people on our planet and the demand for hygienic clean drinking water will rise by 55%. Today more than 800 million people have no access to clean, healthy and pure water.

Approximately one million plastic bottles are produced around the world every minute, which are then transported across the globe, generating unnecessary CO2 emissions and tons of plastic waste.

We all live on a “plastic planet”. In around 30 years there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans. The flood of plastic is steadily increasing and so-​called microplastics can be found everywhere – in the air, in the soil, in our food and in the water, it has already been detected in the body.

The transport of goods will increase by 350% over the next 30 years. That is 4.5 times the volume of transport compared to today. A big problem for people and the globe.

It is BWT’s declared aim to make water of a perfect drinking water quality available all over the world. With innovative, patented BWT technologies, it is possible to filter local water and at the same time enrich it with valuable minerals and trace elements such as magnesium, zinc and silicate. Thanks to BWT, great-​tasting, mineralized water of the best quality comes directly from the tap, the water dispenser or the table water filter.

This saves the laborious transport, storage and disposal of water bottles. BWT pays particular attention to sustainability, social responsibility and the careful use of limited resources in order to guarantee future generations a beautiful, liveable world. With the philosophy of the Bottle Free Zone, BWT are getting closer to this goal every day, sip by sip. However, bottles are not dispensed within a Bottle Free Zone. Rather, it is about avoiding single-​use plastic bottles, which cause tons of rubbish.

Whether at home, in the office, in restaurants, hotels or in public buildings, the BWT Bottle Free Zone provides locally processed mineralized water. This is dispensed or bottled in environmentally friendly reusable bottles made of glass or plastic, free of BPA and environmentally harmful substances, and depending on the taste enriched with valuable magnesium, zinc or silicate.
