Finding the right balance between cost minimisation and satisfying the urgent demand for environmental sustainability is often perceived as a big conundrum in the catering industry. However, Stowe School in Buckinghamshire has proved that there need not be a trade off and has married the two, with the installation of an EcoPure Waters system.
The installation of the Eco Pure system has demonstrated our commitment to the environment and our financial savvy. We have already seen major cost savings – the need to buy in bottled water has all but disappeared.
Our staff can produce as much water as is necessary, without the need to buy-in financially and environmentally damaging water bottles. If we are holding an event, this can be well over 80 or 90 litres in a day.
We especially love the glass bottles that EcoPure have branded with our school logo. The bottles go down so well, they are a fantastic talking point. In fact, they are so popular they go walkabout from time to time – we are now looking into stocking them in the school shop.
