Water Bottle Filling Stations
Why Should I Use a Reusable Water Bottle and Water Bottle Filling Station?
- It helps WIU track how many disposable water bottles are saved from the landfill.
- At the filling station, the water is filtered and FREE.
- Using a reusable water bottle and refilling station promotes sustainability.
- Using reusable water bottles reduces waste created by the bottling process and the need for fossil fuels to make plastics.
- Filling stations are convenient and easy to use.
- Using tap water and a reusable water bottle can protect you from the toxic chemicals found in bottled water such as arsenic, microbes, BPA, and other toxins.
- Filters in filling stations remove additives to tap water such as chlorine.
- Municipal water systems are more strictly monitored by the government than water bottling facilities.
- Using a reusable water bottle cuts down on waste because only 20% of plastic water bottles are recycled; the rest of the plastic bottles go to the landfill and ocean.
- Having a reusable water bottle has been shown to be an encouragement to drink more water.
