Refill in the UK
And whilst there may be concerns to address as to quality and hygiene of public water fountains, there are undoubtedly also challenges to overcome with the further 28,000 managed locations where people are required to ask for a water refill.
“ Research commissioned by Refill in 2018 found that one in three adults in the UK (34%) felt uncomfortable asking for a reusable bottle to be filled at a restaurant or café when they hadn’t bought anything. One in five (19%) still felt uncomfortable asking even when they had made a purchase."
Our Aim
In support of our objectives, we will dedicate our time and resources to:
- Install publicly available water fountains
- Campaign for the widespread installation of publicly available water fountains
- Highlight the quality and cleanliness of publicly available water
- Reduce barriers to requesting free water in managed premises
“Each 500ml water refill eradicates, on average, 12g of single-use plastic. Considering that more than 2.5 billion units of bottled water are sold through UK retail outlets each year, there is an opportunity to eradicate 34,000 tonnes of single-use plastic, providing that water refill stations are in greater abundance than they are today” - Georgia Bell, Honest
