Safety First!
The patented TYFON® system takes on germs and bacteria! sempreAqua therefore always offers fresh, clean water which can be consumed without concern.
Thanks to TYFON®, the technology that has been certified multiple worldwide, germs and bacteria are eliminated three times more thoroughly than with conventional UV lamps. TYFON® works with a combination of cold plasma, hydroxyl radicals, and ozone.
TYFON® produces an invisible mist that protects not only the outlet from germs and bacteria, but also the entire front of the water dispenser, especially the drip tray.
TYFON® is automatically activated after each use. If the water dispenser is not used for a longer period, TYFON® is activated at regular intervals to prevent the formation and proliferation of germs at the outlet, the selection display, the front and the drip tray – thus, the perfect and safest retrograde recontamination protection for the entire system. Thanks to TYFON®, 99.9999% of bacteria are eliminated.
CATEGORY: Water For All - Nominations
We promote access to safe, sustainable hydration by combining BPA-free, reusable bottles with water dispensers in schools, sports clubs, and public institutions.
Our goal is to encourage healthy drinking habits and reduce single-use plastic waste.
The target audience includes communities and organizations committed to health, education, and sustainability.
All participants will receive an aluminum water bottle for sustainable hydration after the race, which they can take home and reuse multiple times.
Spectators will also have the opportunity to refill their water bottles with filtered water.
Culligan has also envisioned the involvement of around 100 employees, including those who will man the refill stations and those who will participate in the various races
The marathon bag for children participating will also include an educational booklet made of eco-friendly paper with plastic-free stickers.
CATEGORY: Sustainability Leadership - Nominations
As part of Canaletas’ annual sustainability initiative, this year’s focus—under the slogan “Hydrating culture, sustaining futures”—was on bringing culture and sustainability closer together.
A key example was our collaboration with the Catalan Cinema Film Awards, where Canaletas installed water coolers and provided exclusive reusable glass bottles to all attendees.
Through this initiative, we encouraged the organisers to adopt an eco-responsible approach, helping eliminate thousands of single-use plastic bottles typically used at such events, while ensuring fresh, purified water throughout—and setting an example of good environmental practices for all attendees.
Nominations
Replacement of all single-use plastic (80.000 in the previous year) at the finish line with Culligan aluminum water bottles filled on site with filtered water.
