Dripl Case: Milliken Textiles BV
Meet Milliken Textiles BV ❤️
Sector: textile production and innovation
Location: Ghent, Belgium
Number of employees: 100+ in Belgium
Mission: To develop innovative and sustainable textile solutions that have a positive impact on people and planet.
Milliken Textiles is about more than just functional and progressive textiles. Innovation and sustainability are woven into every working day there. Since 2024, that includes a new workplace routine: hydrating, but socially, healthily and surprisingly delicious.
From limited choice to vibrant variety
Before Dripl, there were some classic water points, a soda machine and coffee machines. Functional, but not very surprising. Those who wanted something with flavor soon ended up with Soft Drinks.
"The options are functional, but rather limited. For those who wanted something other than water or coffee, the choice was often limited to soft drinks from the vending machine."
With the Refill Point, that has changed completely. Now there is a choice of multiple flavors, flat or effervescent, mild or intense. And the best part? Colleagues drink more and are less likely to reach for a soft drink.
The new meeting point
The Dripl Refill Point has quickly become the place where people hang out for a while. On the way to a refill, you collide with colleagues you otherwise barely see, from the office to the factory.
"A great example is our plant manager, who spontaneously received messages from the night shift. They were so enthusiastic that they explicitly wanted to send a thank you - something that is not obvious and thus says a lot about the impact."
Even the night shift let us know how happy they are. And when people send such a message of their own accord, you know it has an impact. 🥰
From soft drinks to refillable bottles
Since the arrival of the Dripl Refill Point, drinking water at Milliken has changed from a quick necessity to a habit that colleagues really enjoy.🍹
"Many colleagues also report that thanks to Dripl they are drinking more than before. The advance of refillable drinking bottles is also notable."
And it goes beyond just drinking more! 🍹😉
"What also stands out is the experimentation: everyone seems to try a different flavor, with or without effervescence, in a different intensity. That freedom of choice makes it fun and varied for many."
That mix of choice, healthy options and the joy of discovery makes hydration something employees look forward to every day.
The impact in figures
📍 1Refill Point
📦 17,803 packaging avoided
🌍 1334 kg of CO₂e saved
🏆 Top 3 flavors
🥇 Rose Mint
🥈 Ginger Lime
🥉 Iced tea
Why Milliken Textiles chose Dripl
For Milliken, the choice was simple: a solution that combines health, sustainability and connection in the workplace.
"The strongest thing about Dripl is undoubtedly the social and connecting aspect. The Dripl Refill Point has become a meeting place: colleagues regularly stay there for a short chat. In addition, many people appreciate the fact that there is a healthy and sustainable alternative to traditional soft drinks."
The device brings colleagues together, lowers the threshold to drink more water and replaces a large portion of soft drink consumption. Without anyone feeling like they are missing out on anything! 💪
Also ready for a fresh workplace?
At Milliken, moisturizing is no longer an afterthought, but a habit that lives.
