Aquaservice, a leading company in the distribution of bottled water with dispenser in Spain, has collaborated once again with La Vuelta, avoiding the consumption of 3.2 tons of single-use plastic - the equivalent of almost 200,000 single-use bottles of this type of material - during the competition. Thanks to this collaboration, the race was the most sustainable edition in its 88-year history.
In total, the company has supplied more than 100,000 liters of water to the cycling teams, organization staff, journalists and guests, thanks to the more than 80 hydration points installed in different areas, facilitating proper hydration during the 21 stages of the competition. This has been possible thanks to the circular system of bottled water with dispenser that characterizes Aquaservice.
Transformation of water consumption in sports competitions
The collaboration with Aquaservice means that, from 2021, La Vuelta will be the first Grand Tour of the professional circuit to implement a solution that eliminates single-use plastic waste from water consumption. Since their collaboration began, 9.6 tons of this type of plastic have been avoided.
Already in the first year of the collaboration, in 2021, the consumption of single-use plastic was reduced by 94%. This figure has continued to be optimized in subsequent editions.
In the words of Margarita Baselga, Marketing Director of Aquaservice: "For all of us who are part of Aquaservice, it has been a pleasure to have collaborated, once again, with this important competition for Spanish sport, making it more circular than ever. Being able to provide a real solution for water consumption without generating single-use plastic waste allows us to transform sports competitions into a more sustainable version. We started the journey with La Vuelta three years ago and it has been an inspiration for other competitions and events that have opted for a more sustainable and environmentally friendly water consumption."
For his part, Javier Guillén, general manager of La Vuelta, highlights the importance of this collaboration on the road to a more sustainable Tour. "The agreement with Aquaservice is necessary and essential. Together we have developed a solution that greatly reduces the environmental impact of the race. We have already stopped consuming almost 10 tons of single-use plastic since 2021. We hope that the collaboration will continue for many more years because with Aquaservice we not only share a passion for cycling, but also a way of understanding the future of the planet".
Program for sustainable sport and culture
Aquaservice's collaboration with La Vuelta is part of the company's programme for sustainable sport and culture, within which it collaborates with other important events and competitions such as Premios Goya, los Premios Feroz, la Copa del Rey y la Copa de La Reina de Balonmano, el Mundial Femenino de Balonmano, ente otros. All of them with the same objective, to eliminate single-use plastics from all initiatives.
Aquaservice is a comfortable and sustainable way to drink at home. For your enjoyment, we provide you with a modern water dispenser free of charge, both for our soft drink and mineral water.
This fountain allows you to regulate the freshness, without having to accumulate bottles in the fridge. And, with its red tap, you can drink at room temperature or hot, if you prefer to use it for cooking or preparing an infusion.
In addition, we deliver the bottles to your home every four weeks, so you don’t have to worry about buying them at the supermarket. That way, you don’t have to worry about going to the supermarket to buy them, you’ll see how convenient it is!
Aquaservice is a circular economy system that generates zero waste. The delivery man, when he brings you the full bottles, collects the empty ones and returns them to the springs. There they are sanitized and reused. Each water bottle has a useful life, capable of storing up to 1,000 liters of mineral water or soft drink. And, of course, at the end of their useful life, they are recycled, so by drinking Aquaservice, you do not generate waste.
The origin of Aquaservice is 100% natural mineral water from the five springs spread throughout Spain. There, in the production centers and applying the most advanced technology, we balance the composition of the mineral water, adding electrolytes, to achieve a light and very soft drink to the palate. Thus, the beverage you enjoy at home is called Refreshing Drink based on natural mineral water. If you try it, you will see that it is: Always the same. Always balanced. Always perfect.
To manage your account in the most convenient way possible, you can install the free Aquaservice App. You can always check your delivery date, leave a note to your delivery driver, modify your order, change your plan (if you need more or fewer bottles), add coffee… and everything is just a click away!
