New Waterpod - Kwikspar, Cambridge West, East London. 👍

Water scarcity is a part of life in the Eastern Cape. The Waterpod uses 5-stages of advanced water purification technologies to efficiently produce safe water without waste.

1 litre in = 1 litre out - the bad stuff. 💪💧

Waterpod by I-Drop was also the winner of the inaugural South African Plastics Pact Reuse Innovation Challenge.

[A Plastic Planet @aplastic_planet]

16 MILLION plastic bottles aren't recycled in the UK each day. They end up in landfill, incinerators or as pollution in the natural environment.
If just 1/10 Brits refilled a bottle once a week, around 340 million bottles would be saved.

We should deal with a problem before it becomes a problem.
Design out waste, preventing it from being created in the first place.
We can do that with these three neat #circulareconomy innovation strategies: elimination, reuse, and material circulation

The massive need for alternatives to single-use plastic waste has never been greater. How can it be that 10 supermarkets sell bottled water equivalent to the size of the Eiffel Tower in a year? https://t.co/qbUqVnvoAy @Reuters

[Less Plastic @LessPlasticUK]

The flood of #plastic pouring out of Britain’s stores shows no signs of abating, with research revealing that the ten biggest supermarkets sold 2.5billion plastic bottles of water in 2019 😱

From embracing more reusable packaging, to introducing further policies advocating a circular economy, here are seven ways the circular economy will grow in 2021 according to our Circular Design Programme Lead, Joe Iles via @FastCompany https://t.co/Bf8GGXnZft #circulareconomy

The dirty secret behind the plastics recycling drive: privatized upside, nationalized downside / clean-up. Business has to become part of a modern solution to this challenge.

[Ellen MacArthur Foundation @circulareconomy]

Did you know that waste and pollution are largely a result of the way we design things? By harnessing new materials and technologies, we can ensure that waste and pollution are not created in the first place.

[Ellen MacArthur Foundation @circulareconomy]

The circular economy is based on three principles, driven by design:
1. Eliminate waste and pollution
2. Keep products and materials in use and at their highest value
3. Regenerate natural systems

Amazing what happens to the price of drinking water when you purify it locally. Don't pay for the single-use plastic bottle or the long distances to transport it from the bottling plant.

Buy local. Buy refill water purified by a Waterpod.

Simple! 💧🇿🇦

[I-Drop Water @idropwater]

There are I-Drop Water machines in 5 African countries, delivering a saving of up to 80-90% less than bottled water to shoppers in over 100 locations. This is @FreshstopSA Letsitele, where Prince did a routine service & filled up on fresh drinking water to go. #IDropWaterInStore
