There has been plenty of talk about the wastefulness of bottled water but not very much attention has been given to the recyclable nature of water filters. You can actually recycle water filters, though it is not quite as easy as the recycling of other items. Very few companies actually have a send back policy where they will take the old cartridges from you but there are local depositories that will take cleaned out used filters.
At this point it is more common overseas but there is a positive movement for recycling filters in the United States. Water filters are made from multiple materials. Say for example your Cuno filters are done for good and you need to replace them. Look online for places that handle specialty recycling items. The parts can be broken down and reused for making other things or converted to energy.
Oasis water coolers are going to be used plenty. The bottled water coolers need to be handled properly. They can be put in with plastic and paper garbage for recycling. Keep track of how much your employees use. You may notice you go through each tank of water pretty fast.
Cut back on the waste where possible. It makes a difference when you lessen the carbon footprint. One of the biggest benefits of water filters is waste management.
