Business tips: Skip the bottled water

By Jess Blackwell

​We know—having bottled water on hand is super convenient for both you and your customers. 

However, there are likely ways for you to reduce or eliminate your reliance on plastic, single-use bottles of water.
​
For example: 
​

• If you’re a service-based business that needs to entertain clients at the office or if you regularly have in-office meetings, you can prefill reusable bottles with filtered water and keep them in the fridge. 
• For office meetings, consider using a pitcher of water and glasses in place of bottled water.
• To make things even more refreshing, you could make batches of infused water and keep them in the office or store fridge. 
• Keep a few extra reusable water bottles in your office or store so that staff will never be without them, reducing the temptation to purchase bottled water.
• And if having bottled water on hand is absolutely necessary for your business, you can consider switching to a glass-bottled brand (instead of using the plastic kind).
