Drinking water that is refreshingly kind to the planet.

Since the very beginning, sustainability has been at the heart of Borg & Overström as we aim to provide locally sourced, filtered drinking water, without the need for plastic bottles.

Our story started with sustainability

From the very start, Borg & Overström set out to provide locally sourced, sustainable drinking water solutions, reducing the reliance on plastic bottled water.

Our founding commitment to sustainability remains the same, but we continue to evolve our own practices and technologies to benefit bot people and planet.

Sustainability in every pour
  • Efficient, energy-saving technology
    Guided by our commitment to energy efficiency, EcoMode lowers power consumption during standby periods whilst our DryChill® technology maintains chilled temperatures.
  • Premium water without the plastic
    Always improving our sustainable business practices, we follow the methods developed by EcoVadis: the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings.
  • Locally sourced water, zero transportation
    Sustainable from the outset, with single-use plastics firmly in sight. Water consumption and workplace hydration doesn’t have to go hand-in-hand with plastic waste.

From reducing single-use plastic to donating clean water to those in need, our drinking water dispensers are built to provide locally sourced, filtered water which is good for you and good for the planet.

Reducing plastic pollution

With single-use drinks bottles washing up on our shores and littering our waterways, we must all embrace refillable culture and reduce our consumption of single-use plastic. With 65 billion plastic bottles entering our oceans every year, we must all embrace refillable culture and reduce our consumption of single-use plastic.

Greener operations and responsible manufacture

Manufactured in the UK.

Our products are built in the UK using sub-assemblies made under licence and brought in from our nearshore supply chain, ensuring reduced lead times, increased quality control, and a reduced carbon footprint.

EcoVadis and ISO 14001 accredited.

We are proud to be certified ISO 14001 for our Environment Management Systems, and to hold an EcoVadis Bronze accreditation for our commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainable procurement.

Giving back with every glass

With our Made Blue distributors, together we donate 19,000 litres of clean water for every dispenser sold. This means that every glass dispensed is matched with a glass of clean drinking water for someone in need elsewhere in the world.
