OBL has installed the first compact water dispenser at its headquarter located in Segrate, Milan.
The initiative was born as a contribution to reducing the use of PET bottles for mineral water; in 2018 bottles of mineral water in PET reached a total of 320.000 tons in Europe, of which only 55% was recovered and sent for recycling.
This initiative is part of a much larger project that includes the replacement of disposable plastic cups with biodegradable and compostable paper ones. By making the water dispensed available to all of its employees and customers, OBL aims to reduce the consumption of PET bottles by about 1.500 units per year.
