It is a sobering reality that 80% of plastic water bottles end up in landfill, each taking up to 500 years to decompose. For years, bottled water in the workplace has been a staple of hydration, with fridges in breakout areas stocked high with single-use plastic bottles. However, as awareness of plastic pollution and environmental sustainability has grown, single-use bottled water is no longer a sustainable solution.
Achieve your ESG targets by changing the way your business provides water.
On average, installing a Borg & Overström water dispenser eliminates 35,000 plastic bottles over its lifetime. For businesses looking to meet ESG goals, reduce plastic waste, and lower their carbon footprint, integrating a Borg & Overström tap system or water dispenser is a simple yet impactful step.
The energy-efficient, modular water systems provide a sustainable workplace hydration solution, removing reliance on single-use plastics while seamlessly fitting into any workspace.
Energy-efficient water dispenser technology for lower running costs.
Traditional water coolers, hot taps, and beverage fridges run continuously, consuming energy even when no one is in the office—leading to unnecessary costs and wasted energy.
Borg & Overström has developed advanced, eco-friendly water dispenser technology to address this challenge. From intelligent EcoBoil temperature sensing to the energy-efficient DryChill® cooling system—which uses only eco-refrigerant gas with negligible global warming potential (GWP)—every dispenser is designed to reduce energy consumption and lower running costs.
With hybrid working patterns now the norm, break rooms and vending areas experience fluctuating usage throughout the day.
Borg & Overström’s latest innovation, EcoMode, ensures businesses aren’t needlessly chilling water overnight or when no one is around to use it.
This intelligent, energy-saving technology places the dispenser into ‘sleep mode’ when inactive, reducing energy consumption by up to 70%. Over a year of use, EcoMode could save you up to £800 on energy costs*.
EcoMode is triggered after 6 minutes of inactivity (darkness mode) and fully powers down after 2 hours of no use, perfect for offices with variable occupancy, preventing energy waste when floors are empty.
Savings depend on the model and dispense options.
