The issue

Too many of us are drinking from single use water bottles. Understandably, we need to drink water and have easy access to it – but bottled water costs more per litre than petrol in many cases. What’s more, over half of those bottles end up as landfill or litter on our pristine beaches and in our waterways. The bottled water life cycle has a considerable environmental impact through the extraction process (from groundwater, a spring or stream), manufacturing the bottle and transporting it around the country, or in some cases the world.

The answer

We want people to drink tap water from refillable water bottles like refillit. Australian tap water is internationally recognised and is often a higher standard than bottled water – sounds crazy when nationally we spend over half a billion dollars on bottled water per annum – especially when bottled water can be up to 1,500 times more expensive than tap water.

Other parts of the world don’t have access to clean, safe water and we think it’s important to help them too. Over 800 million people globally still don’t have access to clean drinking water. This is unacceptable and we need your help through purchasing a refillit water bottle.
