Refill Stations
As of today there are nine water Refill Stations installed around the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, plus two supporting organizations, providing participants with easy access to free, clean, good-tasting water for their reusable water bottles.
We are just launching this Initiative but hope that businesses from giant hotel chains to small family owned companies as well as individuals will get involved in our Initiative by becoming a Refill Station or by just refilling their bottles so we can achieve our common goal to help reduce the quantity of plastic bottle trash in this area and worldwide!
Facts:
- In the last five years, Quintana Roo has received around 65 millions visitors which makes it one of the main tourist destinations in the world!
- Annually, the state of Quintana Roo welcomes about 16 millions of visitors.
- Those visitors consume an average of a bare minimum of about 88,000 disposable water bottles per day!
- Only a few percentage of these used disposable plastic bottles are recycled!
- Disposable water bottles consume important resources: petroleum and water.
- To produce these bottles requires three times the volume in water, not counting the water inside each bottle.
- Bottled water also requires energy throughout its life cycle: to capture, treat and send water to the bottling plant; to fill, package, transport and refrigerate the bottled water; and recycle or dispose of the empty containers.
- At least a third, or more, of the used plastic bottles are ending up in our oceans, beaches, cenotes, jungles, streets and landfills where they sit for hundreds of years!
