Join the global movement to reduce plastic waste
Plastic is the most persistent pollutant on Earth. Over eight million tonnes of plastic ends up in our oceans every single year. Beyond the oceans, plastic is choking the ecosystem and us too. With over 8.3 billion tonnes of plastic produced in the UAE alone in 2018.
The water supplied by the various UAE municipalities comfortably exceeds the World Health Organization drinking water safety standards, yet the country, is today the largest consumer of bottled drinking water (per capita) in the world, with UAE residents consuming on average over 450 bottles per year. But why is that?
Locally-based company No More Bottles is aiming to change the way the UAE residents and organisations consume water. No More Bottles strives to educate residents on how to reduce their plastic bottle consumption and to increase public awareness on the harmful effects of plastic and how each of us can bring about a long-lasting change.
It's not just the environment that benefits from engaging the services of No More Bottles; clients also experience significant cost saving and have a real upside in safety, storage, and administration benefits.
Over 300 of their residential clients already enjoy the quick and easy installation process of No More Bottles residential under-sink filter system, providing unlimited access to filtered drinking water on tap in their homes. Now, there is no more need for additional storage space, no more frustration of irregular deliveries, no more leaking bottles, no more risk of BPA from water that is stored in sunlight.
As the name suggests, No More Bottles focuses on minimising the environmental impact our water drinking habits have on the UAE. Founded in 2017, the company has established partnerships with like-minded sustainable companies such as Citibank, Allen & Overy LLP, Al- Futtaim (Lexus), Abu Dhabi Financial Group, Kings Schools Dubai, TRYP by Wyndham, Kempinksi (MOE), and Harley Davidson Motorcycles.
