Your old water tap no longer fits into a (sustainable) office
.jpg)
A water tap is a classic in the office. You know it: somewhere in a corner, with plastic cups next to it and a device that looks like it's from 2003. Once upon a time, it was convenient. Today? Not anymore.
From 'just water' to smart hydration
It used to be enough to have a faucet or tap somewhere in the office. Today, water plays a bigger role. It is a part of:
🧠 Well-being: drinking enough helps against fatigue, headaches and loss of concentration.
🌱 S ustainability: single-use cups and unfiltered water are difficult to justify against ESG goals.
🤝 Experience: a modern water tap is visible, attractive and even a small social crossroads in a hybrid office environment.
Thus, the old water tap not only becomes technically obsolete, but also lacks connection to the values companies want to project today.
What's wrong with the classic water tap?
Most standard taps or water coolers are no longer up to date. Here's why:
1. Single-use waste
Plastic cups? Cardboard cups? Those end up in the trash after just one sip. On average, hundreds of cups are used per employee per year, and for something that can be done perfectly well with a reusable bottle.
2. Little flexibility or perception
There is rarely a choice: flat water, usually not chilled. No taste, no effervescence, no invitation to hydrate.
3. Limited durability
Bottle filling systems require transportation and storage. This costs time, money and causes unnecessary carbon emissions.
4. Visually and functionally outdated
They look boring and are often tucked away somewhere. They don't contribute to your workplace design or employer brand.
What does suit a sustainable office?
🌱 Circular thinking
A modern office chooses reusable bottles and a tap that functions without waste. Some systems, such as the Dripl Refill Point, automatically provides with chilled, sparkling or flavored water without packaging.
💧 Health central
Hydration = focus, energy and mental clarity. Make drinking an easy habit. Give your team something they really want to use.
🚛 CO2 reduction
Water taps connected to the water supply (with filtration) have a much smaller carbon footprint than systems with bottles. They eliminate your transportation, packaging and storage.
✨ Make it attractive
The watering hole should be seen. Not a darkness, but an open place where employees can catch their breath and refill their bottle or have a chat. Design and user-friendliness reinforce the brand feeling and job satisfaction.

The traditional water tap has had its day. Not because water is no longer important, but precisely because it has become so essential.
A sustainable office looks beyond function. It looks at impact, experience and health. And that includes a water tap that offers more than lukewarm tap water in a plastic cup.
