CASTALIE – A sustainable alternative to plastic bottles for companies, hotels and restaurants
With an estimated 1 million plastic bottles used every second, solutions are needed which reduce the use of plastic for drinks. Whether in the office, at home, at an event, or in hotels, plastic bottles are everywhere, and many of these are not recycled. CASTALIE is responding to this challenge to put an end to the plastic bottle by producing ecodesign water fountains and sustainable accessories. CASTALIE’s fountains are made in France and Italy with recyclable materials, whilst the water comes directly from the local water supply network. The aim is to create new water consumption habits by re-learning how to drink tap water. In 2019, around 24 million plastic bottles were avoided by using CASTALIE’s Solution.
