Reducing Waste in the Workplace with TopHealth
With more workplaces taking steps towards greener, more sustainable offices, reducing waste is an impactful and easy solution.
The UK uses 38.5 million plastic bottles every day.
Only 57% of plastic bottles are recycled each year. These non-recycled bottles are harmful to the environment as they require fossil fuels, produce high emissions, and damage ecosystems for wildlife and waterways.
One third of all marine plastic pollution in the ocean comes from beverage litter. Plastic bottles harm the ocean by breaking down into toxic microplastics that trap marine life and ruin marine habitats.
Workplaces and Bottled Water
Many workplaces, especially larger corporations, provide complimentary drinks fridges for staff - filled with fizzy cans, soft drinks and bottled water. It raises the question - why do we need bottled water if we are sat in an office, not on the go?
It could be due to the quality or temperature of water, but this can easily be resolved by using filtered, chilled water from in-house beverage solutions, or even coffee machines such as TopBrewer. A recent difference may also be from the added benefits that a lot of bottled water drinks now include, such as exciting flavours, vitamins and electrolytes. With solutions such as TopHealth, this is all provided for you - and the difference is that it is fully customisable.
Bottled water will never have your perfect, exact drink freshly prepared for you. Maybe you're tired and want a stronger vitamin mix? Maybe you want to mix two or more flavours? This is possible with an in-house beverage solution - not bottled water. It also has many other benefits, such as cutting out microplastics from mixing into your drink from the single-use plastic.
The Functional Drink Journey
The environmental impact of workplace drinks extends far beyond the drink itself. Packaging, transport, cold storage, distribution and waste are just a few of the stages in the production of plastic bottles that damage the environment. Preparing beverages fresh at the point of consumption helps remove much of this unnecessary complexity.
TopHealth uses an on-site BRITA water filter to filter your water, then combines it with concentrated flavour pouches that are carefully hidden below the machine. After installation, the only transportation required is to replace the pouches when they run out. Each pouch can make hundreds of drinks (depending on cup size) - with one cup replacing a vast amount of single-use plastic.
