At Zip Water we are committed to doing our part to ensure a more sustainable planet.
Continuous improvement in sustainability
We’ve been awarded a Gold sustainability rating by EcoVadis, the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, intelligence and collaborative performance improvement tools for global supply chains.
Submitting to a rigorous review process that covered four areas of the business, Environment, Ethics, Labor and Human Rights, and Sustainable Procurement, Zip was found to be in the 93rd percentile of companies assessed by EcoVadis.
The ratings and scorecards demonstrate how well a company has integrated the principles of sustainability into its business and management system, while also providing feedback for future improvements.
Reducing the use of single-use plastics
Our products help people to reduce their reliance on single-use plastic bottles by encouraging the refill of bottles and glasses in both the home and workplace. See below for how many single-use plastic bottles can be saved over the lifetime of your HydroTap system.
Responsible and ethical supply network
We are committed to managing our business in a way that is both socially and environmentally responsible. This commitment extends the goods and services we purchase to the choice of suppliers we work. To ensure our suppliers recognize and uphold these standards we have our own Supplier Code of Conduct and Modern Slavery Statement.
100% water efficient
Closed refrigeration forced air cooled systems are 100% water efficient with rapid chilling and heat transfer capabilities delivering consistently colder chilled water. Forced air cooling removes waste heat that is generated as part of the refrigeration process for cooling water. No water is used as part of this process, making it 100% water efficient. All HydroTap systems use air cooling technology.
Independently verified Environmental Product Declaration
The HydroTap EPD details the environmental impact of HydroTaps throughout its lifecycle, from the production and processing of raw materials to manufacturing, distribution, installation, ongoing usage, maintenance and filter changing, right down to the end of the product’s life.
Cutting-edge energy-efficient products
The G5 under-bench command center features customizable settings with 3 energy saving modes including ON/OFF timers and sensor activated ‘sleep when it’s dark’ to help conserve energy during periods of low or non-usage.
Patented Zip PowerPulse™ technology ensures perfect boiling temperature by delivering instantaneous small energy bursts efficiently instead of overheating and cooling, which wastes energy and results in boiling water at inconsistent temperatures.
Low impact design
Zip does not just design energy efficient products; we have complete organizational dedication to sustainable environmental management and quality and are certified to ISO 14001 and ISO 9001. We take care to ensure that each HydroTap system is manufactured sustainably and to the highest quality possible.
Investing in renewable energy
We have committed to adopting a renewable energy approach to manufacturing and implementing solar panels in the Condell Park facility. In 2021 and 2022 the solar panels respectively generated between 15% and 17% of total energy for the operations site. Looking forward, we have committed to an expansion of solar panels ensuring improved renewable energy generation year on year.
The provision of safer and cleaner water
As part of the Culligan International Group, we lead the world in healthy and sustainable drinking water solutions and services, bringing clean, safe and soft water to more than 100 million consumers globally. Our common purpose is to provide cleaner, safer and great tasting water to change people’s lives and improve the environment for all.
