Hidden water consumers

Data centers

With the increasing digitization of our world, data centers are becoming increasingly important. However, data centers are huge consumers of water due to the need to cool servers and energy-intensive operations. On an annual basis, a data center consumes approximately 4,600,000,000.00 liters of water. To reduce this water consumption, it is important to keep investing in more efficient cooling technologies and sustainable energy sources.

Cars

requires as much as 52,000 to 83,000 liters of water, mainly due to the manufacturing process of materials such as steel and plastic. Regular car washing also contributes to this water consumption. By switching to public transport, cycling or sharing a car, a lot of water can be saved

Smartphone

Smartphones have become indispensable in everyday life, but did you know that producing a single smartphone can require up to 12,760 litres of water? This includes water use in mining metals and minerals that are used in production. By using your smartphone for longer, you can quickly save a lot of water. Afterwards, you can return your smartphone so that it can be recycled.

A cup of coffee

A cup of coffee is an everyday occurrence for the Fleming, but the actual impact on our water consumption is surprisingly high. The production of a single cup of coffee requires approximately 176 litres of water, including the cultivation of coffee beans, the processing process and the brewing of the coffee. Consciously opting for sustainably grown and fair trade can help reduce water waste. This is because fair trade coffee also takes into account the way of producing the coffee beans and the water consumption.

Bottled water

Bottled water may seem like a convenient choice, but it has a huge impact on our water consumption. For every litre of bottled water we buy, no less than 3 to 6 litres of water are used during the production process and packaging. This includes water for rinsing the bottles, filling them and even transporting them to stores. By switching to tap water, you can easily save a lot of water.

It is clear that our daily habits and decisions have a major influence on our water consumption. Reducing water consumption is not only critical to conserving this precious resource, but it can also cut costs. At Robinetto, we are committed to helping companies do this, and with Robi you can also drink sustainable water at home. By using a water tap, you not only save money compared to bottled water, but you use less water. In addition, you give your employees and customers a better experience because you can always offer fresh and possibly sparkling water.
