Events have a unique power to inspire change, and one of the most impactful ways to make a difference is by switching from single-use bottled water to tap water. With the 'Tap Water at Events' model, you can reduce plastic waste and lead the way in sustainability. Tap water refill stations and reusable bottles don’t just reduce waste – they show your audience that a greener future is possible, simple, and accessible.
In 2023, we joined forces with ADE Green to spark a shift and make Bring Your Own Bottle (BYOB) the new festival norm. It’s just the second step in our five-step Tap Water at Events model, but it’s catching on.
In 2025, we were proud to support Lago Lago in becoming the first Dutch electronic music festival to reach step five: banning bottled water entirely and offering tap water to every single attendee. Together we prevented 15,000 bottles from being wasted.
We’ve also teamed up with the international NGO Bye Bye Plastic for their summer campaign to make bringing your own bottle the norm at festivals across France and Belgium.

A step-by-step guide
Switching is easier than you think. Here’s how:
Install refill stations – Make tap water easily available by setting up refill stations throughout your event space.
Encourage reusable bottles – Allow visitors to bring their own reusable bottles and shout it from the rooftops, through your website, social media, and at the event.
Ditch bottled water sales – Offer tap water options at bars and concession stands instead.
These small steps help reduce plastic waste and enhance your event’s sustainability efforts in a big way. Let’s turn the tide together, one refill station at a time.
