As global citizens, it’s important to be aware of the impact that we have on the environment. This is something we at PureLux H20 emphasize on and lowering our carbon footprint and the water quality in California are some of the hottest topics we’ll be discussing.

Ecological Impact of Importing Bottled Water in the F&B Industry

Bottled water imports have a significant impact on the environment, and we’re speaking about the whole process that leads to bottled water as a final product and not just the plastic bottles themselves. The actual making of the bottles, the processing, the bottling, even the labeling, chilling, and transportation all produce significant carbon emissions.

Choosing Filtered Water as an Alternative

We believe an office water filtration system is the major step all businesses (not just the F&B ones) should make. Here’s how filtered water helps to reduce harmful emissions

Cutting shipment and transport

Transport logistics alone can cut up to 43% of the carbon footprint. Removing the need to import bottled water will drastically reduce the number of greenhouse gases.

Filtered Water Doesn’t Compromise Quality

Using a premium office water filtration system is one of the most accessible and carbon-efficient alternatives. Proper filtration removes all of the water impurities, leading to better-tasting water.

Filtered Water Comes at a Better Price

Instead of a never-ending water delivery subscription, you only need to invest once, and then you’re set for life. In other words, if your business gets water deliveries, you’re paying to harm the environment.

Common Sources of Contaminants in Drinking Water

California water is supposed to be safe to drink from the tap; however, this doesn’t mean it’s 100% pure water. Here are the 3 common sources of contaminants in drinking water:

1. Sewer Overflows and Sewage Spills – Old and untreated sewage or overflowing wastewater often contaminate drinking water supplies. Having a filtration system in your office will minimize these and ensure you’re drinking pure water.
2. Naturally Occurring Contaminants in the Environment – Uranium, aluminum, radon, and arsenic are a few examples of elemental minerals that occur naturally in our environment and while they are typically not harmful in low concentrations, regular consumption may lead to health issues.
3. Malfunction Water Treatment Systems – Even if you have an office water filtration system, you should ensure it’s running properly and doing what it’s supposed to do. Always pick service providers that provide maintenance and services throughout the year.

We, at PureLux H2O, have established our water filtration business with the idea of contributing to lowering our carbon footprint. If you want to learn more about our systems or have any questions for us, feel free to reach us at 818-570-8130.
