Sustainability Report

Our Commitment

In 2022, we updated our Environmental Product Declaration (EDP) for HydroTap to reflect our commitment to people and planet.

Internationally recognised and independently verified, our EPD details the impact of HydroTap across its entire lifecycle – from its raw materials right through to its recycling at end-of-life.

Join the refill revolution

Did you know Zip Water products contribute to saving more than two billion single-use plastics from landfill every year?

Great-tasting water encourages employees to refill cups and bottles, rather than resorting to single-use plastic. Join the refill revolution.

Environment Single-Use Plastic Water Bottles Saved*
Family Home (1-6 people) 12,273 to 17,530
High-use, commercial space
(i.e. hotel, office kitchen, etc.)

*Based on the same volume of water consumed with Zip products vs 500 ml PET plastic water bottles. Results are based on 7-year life cycle for commercial products and 10-year life cycle for home.

100% Water efficient

Our air-cooling system results in zero water use in the cooling process, keeping our products 100% water efficient. The only water that runs through your system is the perfectly cooled water delivered to you.

Uncompromising design

Exceptional design should never come at the expense of sustainability. That’s why Zip Water is committed to creating products that support both. Explore our specification resources to bring premium hydration solutions to your next project with confidence.
