A good way for businesses, hotels, and restaurants to avoid using plastic bottles.

A good way for businesses, hotels, and restaurants to avoid using plastic bottles.

Since about 1 million plastic bottles are used every second, there needs to be a way to cut down on the amount of plastic used for drinks. Plastic bottles are everywhere, at the office, at home, at an event, or in a hotel. Many of them are not recycled. CASTALIE is working to end the use of plastic bottles by making ecodesign water fountains and sustainable accessories. The fountains made by CASTALIE are made in France and Italy out of materials that can be recycled, and the water comes straight from the local water supply network. The goal is to get people to drink more water by getting them to learn how to drink tap water again. With CASTALIE’s Solution, about 24 million plastic bottles were not used in 2019.
