Tap water is the most controlled comestible good in Switzerland. It is of high quality and much more eco-friendly than bottled water. This is why WfW promotes the drinking of tap water with innovative projects.
Tap water in Switzerland is not only delicious, it also meets the highest hygiene and safety standards. The daily work of over 2,500 water suppliers and strict guidelines for water protection ensure the outstanding quality of Swiss drinking water. It is the comprehensive infrastructural measures implemented in recent decades that make today's nationwide, cost-effective supply possible around the clock.
The law sets stricter requirements for tap water than for branded water. Tap water meets higher standards in terms of safety and quality. In over 50% of cases it even has the same or higher mineral content as branded water.
Although tap water in Switzerland is available around the clock and has an ecological balance that is up to 1000 times better than that of bottled water, more and more bottled water is being consumed in Switzerland. In 2020, it was around 94 billion litres, mor ethan 48% of which is imported. In the last 50 years, per capita consumption has risen from less than ten litres to around 110 litres. As a result, Switzerland ranks among the top 20 nations worldwide in the consumption of bottled water and spends millions on a product that flows almost free of charge from the tap – at the expense of the environment.
Tap water has significant advantages as a supply system for an entire society. Our goals are based on this fundamental vision:
1
Promote drinking of tap water through innovative solutions
2
Give value to drinking of tap water
3
Integrate the use of WfW glass and stainless steel bottles into everyday life
More than 500 partner companies use WfW carafes. Additional projects enable us to integrate the drinking of tap water into everyday life.
