In 2015, Refill (who campaign for access to free-water for all) reported that only 20% of people in the UK used refillable water bottles. However, this statistic has significantly increased and now stands at nearly 60%, according to the same charity. The act of refilling a water bottle from a tap, once associated with frugality or 'being tight', has now evolved into a thriving industry which does good for our planet. The market for refillable bottles in Europe alone is valued at £1.5bn annually, and it is projected to grow by nearly 40% by 2028.
This transformation comes as no surprise, given the rising concerns about climate change and the accessibility of clean, free water, which has become a matter of social justice and public health, especially in the context of a warming British climate. The effort to make water readily available is evident in the city of London, where the mayor has taken steps to install 110 new water fountains across the city.
Although the movement towards refillable bottles has been spearheaded by the younger generations, reusable bottles are for all - many designs are great for working professionals especially those that commute and want to stay hydrated on the go - these practical companions are ever-present in offices, parks, gyms, and cafes, constantly in the spotlight.
