InSinkErator® is encouraging the use of re-fillable drinks bottles and offering solutions to reduce water waste in the home on World Water Day, which takes place on Thursday 22nd March 2018.
The theme of this year’s World Water Day is ‘Nature for Water’, which explores nature-based solutions to the water challenges we encounter in the 21st century, including helping to protect the natural environment and reduce pollution.
In the UK, the average UK household uses 480 plastic bottles per year, but only recycles 270 of them1. The non-recycled bottles, therefore, end up in landfill or in the ocean, causing damage to the environment. InSinkErator® is committed to providing lifestyle enhancing solutions to their customers that also encourage the efficient use of water in the home and therefore developed the 4N1 Touch collection of taps.
At the touch of a button, the 4N1 Touch tap provides instant, filtered, cold water, therefore, consumers with a 4N1 Touch Tap can benefit by having instant filtered water readily available in their own home, reducing the need to purchase bottled water; especially when a variety of re-fillable drinks bottles are widely available.
Furthermore, the InSinkErator® 4N1 Touch taps also safely dispenses filtered, steaming hot water, reducing the need for consumers to own a kettle. According to the Energy Saving Trust, 40 per cent of households boil the kettle at least four times a day, with 75 per cent admitting to boiling more water than they need1; accounting for a significant amount of water and energy wasted every year. Homeowners can save water, and time, with a 4N1 Touch tap from InSinkErator®.
Anne Kaarlela, Marketing Communications Manager, Europe and Russia InSinkErator®, says: “With many households habitually over-filling their kettles and the increased consumption of bottled water in the UK, initiatives such as World Water Day are so important to increase the awareness of how these habits affect the world we live in. At InSinkErator®, we will continue to promote water saving in the home and offer affordable solutions to consumers.”
