44 EU BUSINESS NEWS / German Business Awards 2022 Sep22605 The average German drinks about 150 litres of mineral water a year, partly in glass and partly in plastic bottles. Not only is drinking fromwater bottles expensive, it is also anything but sustainable. The production, filling and transport of the bottles consume resources, as well as release a lot of CO2 – and disposal often causes problems, too. But there is another way. With LivingWater, you can simply bring the source to your home and access your own filtered water directly from the tap. With or without fizz, chilled or un-chilled, you decide according to your mood and taste. In any case, your homemade water is of the best quality. After all, no foodstuff in Germany is as strictly controlled as drinking water. Its quality is therefore often significantly higher than that of even highpriced mineral water brands. Nevertheless, tap water is not perfect. Depending on the region, it can contain residues of pesticides, hormones, or medicines, for example. That's why Living Water uses a special activated carbon block filter: microscopically fine pores remove pollutants from your tap water, while retaining valuable minerals. So you get pure, delicious water straight from the tap. You also save money and the hassle of carrying boxes – and make an important contribution to climate protection. Daniel Fechtelpeter, Founder and Managing Director of Living Water says, “Crucial for the implementation of our idea was to know the wishes of the customers and thus put together the best possible product.” In the process, solutions for water quality, functionality, space requirements, noise pollution, and design were worked out. The result: the LivingTap Pro. Sustainability: Better Water, Better World “It is important to us that not only the product itself, but also the implementation is as sustainable as possible,” says Daniel. “That's why we cooperate with European companies. They all have many years of experience in the development and production of water filters, drinking water systems, and fittings. And the most important thing: like us, they have the highest quality standards. Of course, this also includes first-class customer service without compromise.” Clean Drinking Water is a Human Right “My vision: everyone should have access to clean drinking water,” Daniel states. “That’s why, since our foundation, we have supported aid organisations that focus on WASH (Water - Sanitation - Hygiene).” This year, 10% of the company’s profits will go to projects that primarily help people in crisis areas. At a time when solutions for a more climatefriendly lifestyle are more important than ever, Living Water offers the freedom to live more sustainably without sacrificing individual comfort. On average, every German consumes 192 disposable plastic bottles per year. Living Water offers the chance to reduce this considerable amount of plastic waste to almost zero. Because if you access water via your tap, you avoid the production of bottles, their costly, industrial reusable cleaning as well as the entire transport logistics from the source to the supermarket. Living Water saves energy, CO2 emissions, and makes your everyday life easier and more environmentally friendly.
