Quench USA: Solution to the Office “Water Cooler” Conundrum
Plastic pollution increasing by land and by sea. Barrels of oil wasted. BPA. High transportation costs. False advertising. Low regulations. Money wasted.
Bottled water has a stigma these days. And sitting around the office “water cooler” (or perhaps ‘larger caskets of bottled water’) doesn’t have the same pizzazz that it used to, eh?
We already know that plastic water bottles don’t make sense financially or sustainably. We bring our own stainless steel water bottles to fill up, but working for 8 hours a day leads to an inevitable refill or two. Those large plastic jugs you’re filling up with at work or the gym are still made of plastic, and therefore have the same green consequences as those single-sized bottled waters.
A business based in King of Prussia, Quench USA, recognized this environmental conundrum of the ‘larger’ water bottles and came up with a better solution. (Find out more, after the jump!)
