Humans have been working on sustainable solutions for everyday needs for a long time. But today, innovative solutions to our environmental problems is more popular — and more necessary — than ever.
A clean and accessible water supply is integral to the sustainability of life on earth. Rising population and urbanisation have escalated the global demand for adequate, safe and easily available water resources. Rapid industrialisation, climate change and a huge human population exacerbate water scarcity and intensify waste water management. To overcome this water crisis, focusing on the challenges are of utmost importance.
Therefore, the first steps towards closer management are the safe use of purified drinking water and ensuring affordable and adequate availability of waste water treatment techniques. The industry can play a leading role in making water practices more sustainable by addressing overexploitation and contamination and improving water infrastructure and management.
Bottled water companies have been catching up with the times, and now offer various options for bottled water containers — from the eco-friendly glass bottles similar to ones used for soft drinks, aluminium or steel bottles, to the innovative edible water pods offered in marathons for hydration on the go.
