Sustainability in the workplace often feels like a big, complicated goal but sometimes, the most impactful changes are the simplest ones. One of the easiest ways businesses can reduce waste, improve efficiency, and create a measurable environmental impact is by switching to bottleless water coolers.
And when you break it down by the numbers, the difference is hard to ignore.
The Hidden Impact of Everyday Hydration
Most people don’t think twice about grabbing a bottle of water during the workday. But those small, daily habits add up quickly.
On average, one person uses about 150 plastic water bottles per year, a statistic supported by environmental research from organizations like Earth Day Network. Now multiply that across your team.
In a workplace with just 40 employees, that equals 6,000 plastic water bottles every year. To put that into another perspective, that’s also the equivalent of 198 five-gallon water jugs being delivered, stored, and eventually discarded.
That’s a significant amount of waste generated from something as simple as staying hydrated.
How Bottleless Water Coolers Make a Measurable Difference
This is where bottleless water coolers completely transform the equation. Instead of relying on single-use plastic bottles or heavy 5-gallon jugs, bottleless systems connect directly to your water supply and use advanced filtration to provide clean, great-tasting water on demand.
A system like the PW90 is specifically designed to support offices of around 40–50 people, making it the perfect solution for replacing thousands of bottles each year.
By making the switch, your business can immediately:
- Eliminate approximately 6,000 plastic water bottles annually
- Remove the need for 198 five-gallon jugs
- Reduce plastic waste, delivery logistics, and storage space
All from one simple change.

Turning Numbers Into Motivation
What makes modern bottleless water coolers even more impactful is the ability to track your results in real time.
With features like built-in bottle counters, every refill becomes part of a larger story. Employees can actually see how many plastic bottles their workplace has prevented from entering landfills or oceans.
It’s no longer just about talking about sustainability, it’s about seeing it happen. When teams can track their progress, it creates a sense of ownership and pride. Employees become more engaged, more aware, and more motivated to contribute to a greener workplace.

Sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Sometimes, it starts with something as simple as how your team drinks water.
