Boost Workplace Sustainability with Elkay Water Refill Stations
Introduction: Sustainability as a Business Priority
In today’s climate-conscious world, sustainability is no longer a ‘nice to have’, it’s expected. Businesses are under pressure from employees, clients, and regulators to demonstrate a meaningful commitment to the environment.
One of the most overlooked yet impactful areas? Hydration. Offices still relying on bottled water or outdated coolers are missing an opportunity to cut plastic waste, save money, and support employee wellbeing.
The Hidden Impact of Bottled Water in the Workplace
An average UK office can consume thousands of plastic water bottles per year. Whether provided to staff or purchased individually, the impact adds up fast — both environmentally and financially.
Beyond the waste, there’s the cost of ordering, storing, and disposing of single-use plastic — not to mention the carbon footprint of delivery and manufacturing.
The Sustainable Solution: Bottle Filling Stations
Installing a bottle filling station is one of the simplest ways to create an instant shift in your sustainability profile. Employees refill their own reusable bottles, plastic waste drops dramatically, and your business saves time and money in the long run.
Why Elkay Stands Out for Office Use
Elkay is a trusted global brand known for its quality, durability, and innovation in hydration technology. Here's why more UK workplaces are installing Elkay systems:
✓ Touchless Design for Hygiene
Models like the LIV Pro LBWD2C00WHC offer sensor-activated bottle filling. No buttons. No levers. No germs. Just clean, contactless hydration.
✓ Sleek, Space-Saving Fit
With minimalist, wall-mounted units such as the EMASMB, you can install stations without eating into floor space — ideal for compact kitchens or corridors.
✓ Cost-Saving Filtration
Every Elkay station includes a high-capacity filter system, reducing contaminants like chlorine and improving taste — no need for bulk bottled water ever again.
Employee Wellbeing Meets Environmental Impact
Hydrated employees are more alert, more energised, and generally healthier. By making hydration easy and accessible, you’re encouraging good habits without needing to run a wellness campaign.
At the same time, you’ll be taking a concrete step toward your environmental goals. Refill stations help cut hundreds — even thousands — of plastic bottles per year, depending on usage.
Our Most Popular Workplace Units
- LIV Pro LBWD2C00WHC – A premium choice with touchless functionality and a stunning finish.
- EMASMB – A compact wall-mounted solution, ideal for office kitchens or breakout areas.
- EZH2O EZWSSMJO – A robust model for larger spaces or higher foot traffic environments.
Installation: Simple, Fast, and Flexible
You don’t need to overhaul your plumbing or remodel your office. Elkay refill stations are designed for quick installation and minimal disruption. Whether you're retrofitting an old cooler space or planning a new build, we’ll help you select the right setup.
Enhance Your ESG Reporting
If your company reports on environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics, a refill station is a measurable asset. Usage counters on many models help you track bottles saved and highlight your commitment to reducing waste.
Conclusion: A Smarter Way to Hydrate at Work
Swapping bottled water for a refill station is one of the most practical sustainability upgrades a business can make — and one your team will thank you for.
With Elkay, you’re getting reliability, performance, and long-term savings — all while reducing your environmental footprint.
