Czy zastanawiałeś się kiedyś, ile kosztuje jedna butelka wody – nie tylko w złotówkach, ale też w kosztach środowiskowych? Picie wody z kranu zamiast tej w plastikowych butelkach to prosty, ale bardzo skuteczny sposób, by ograniczyć ilość odpadów, zmniejszyć ślad węglowy i zadbać o własne zdrowie. Coraz więcej osób oraz firm odkrywa, że kranówka to nie tylko ekologiczna alternatywa, ale również wygodne i ekonomiczne rozwiązanie na co dzień.
Każdego roku Polacy zużywają miliardy plastikowych butelek. Ich produkcja, transport i utylizacja wiążą się z ogromnym obciążeniem dla środowiska. Szacuje się, że wyprodukowanie jednej półtoralitrowej butelki wody wymaga nawet trzykrotnej ilości tej samej wody – zużytej w procesie produkcji opakowania. Do tego dochodzi emisja dwutlenku węgla związana z transportem i magazynowaniem.
Woda z kranu nie wymaga plastiku ani transportu, a jej ślad węglowy jest niemal zerowy. Każdy kubek kranówki to realna oszczędność zasobów i mniej odpadów, które mogłyby trafić na wysypisko. To przykład małej, codziennej zmiany, która w skali społecznej przynosi ogromne efekty.
Coraz częściej w miejscach pracy pojawiają się tzw. bezbutlowe dystrybutory wody – urządzenia podłączone bezpośrednio do sieci wodociągowej. Takie systemy filtrują wodę, dzięki czemu jest ona czysta, świeża i pozbawiona niepożądanych zapachów. Dystrybutory bezbutlowe oferują dostęp do wody schłodzonej, gorącej lub gazowanej, bez konieczności wymiany ciężkich baniaków.
To rozwiązanie nie tylko wygodne, ale przede wszystkim ekologiczne i ekonomiczne. Eliminacja plastikowych butli oznacza brak konieczności ich transportu, przechowywania i utylizacji. To także mniej pracy logistycznej i niższe koszty eksploatacji. W praktyce to również działanie wspierające ideę gospodarki obiegu zamkniętego, w duchu wprowadzanych w Polsce rozwiązań systemu kaucyjnego. Zamiast oddawać butelki do recyklingu – po prostu nie wytwarzamy ich wcale.
Woda z sieci wodociągowej w Polsce jest bezpieczna, regularnie badana i spełnia surowe normy jakościowe określone przez Unię Europejską. Często jest równie dobra, a nawet lepsza od wody butelkowanej. Nowoczesne filtry stosowane w dystrybutorach dodatkowo poprawiają jej smak, eliminując ewentualny zapach chloru.
Warto też wspomnieć o kosztach. Litr wody z kranu kosztuje mniej niż jeden grosz, podczas gdy za tę samą ilość wody butelkowanej płacimy kilkaset razy więcej. Oszczędność jest więc nie tylko ekologiczna, ale i bardzo realna.
Zmiana przyzwyczajeń nie musi być rewolucyjna. Wystarczy zamienić butelkę plastiku na szklankę kranówki. To prosty gest, który przekłada się na czystsze środowisko, mniejsze zużycie surowców i niższe koszty. W biurze, w domu, na spotkaniach – woda z kranu jest zawsze pod ręką, świeża, bezpieczna i przyjazna dla planety.
Wybierając kranówkę zamiast wody butelkowanej:
Woda z kranu to zdrowy wybór i ekologiczna odpowiedzialność. To przykład, że prawdziwa zmiana zaczyna się od najprostszych rzeczy – od szklanki czystej, dobrej wody.

Jesień powoli ustępuje miejsca zimie, a wraz z nadejściem pierwszych mrozów kończy się sezon na korzystanie z większości zewnętrznych zdrojów wody pitnej. To naturalny moment, by odpowiednio zadbać o infrastrukturę, która latem służyła mieszkańcom i turystom. Dzięki właściwemu zabezpieczeniu zdroje będą gotowe, aby w kolejnym sezonie ponownie spełniać swoją rolę – dostarczać czystą i bezpieczną wodę w przestrzeni publicznej.
Standardowe zdroje wody pitnej wymagają przed zimą kilku prostych, ale bardzo ważnych czynności:
Takie działania zapobiegają uszkodzeniom instalacji i obudowy, a także wydłużają żywotność urządzeń. Alternatywą są zdroje mrozoodporne, dostępne również w naszej ofercie. To rozwiązanie, które może działać całorocznie, niezależnie od temperatury.
Zewnętrzne zdroje wody pitnej od lat cieszą się dużym uznaniem mieszkańców i przyjezdnych. Latem stają się miejscem, gdzie można uzupełnić bidon, napić się w upalny dzień czy nauczyć dzieci dbania o zdrowe nawyki. To także wygoda dla osób aktywnych – biegaczy, rowerzystów czy spacerowiczów.
Ale zdroje to nie tylko komfort – to także krok w stronę ekologii. Dzięki nim znacząco zmniejsza się zużycie plastikowych butelek, co wspiera lokalne działania na rzecz ochrony środowiska. Każdy litr wody nalany ze zdroju to realne ograniczenie ilości odpadów w gminie.
Aby zdroje dobrze spełniały swoją funkcję, powinny być odpowiednio zaprojektowane i wykonane:
Wysoka jakość wykonania i przemyślana konstrukcja sprawiają, że zdroje stają się nie tylko funkcjonalnym elementem infrastruktury, ale również estetycznym dodatkiem do przestrzeni publicznej.
Warto pamiętać, że inwestowanie w zdroje to także sposób, w jaki samorządy mogą spełniać wymagania dyrektywy UE 2184/2020, która zobowiązuje państwa członkowskie do zwiększania dostępu mieszkańców do bezpłatnej wody pitnej. Dzięki temu gminy nie tylko realizują obowiązki prawne, ale też budują wizerunek miejsc przyjaznych, zdrowych i ekologicznych.
Choć sezon zdrojów wody pitnej dobiega końca, to właśnie teraz warto pomyśleć o ich odpowiednim zabezpieczeniu, a także planowaniu przyszłych inwestycji. Zdroje to rozwiązanie, które łączy wygodę, troskę o zdrowie mieszkańców i ekologię, a dodatkowo pomaga samorządom sprostać unijnym wymaganiom.

From October, the following will be in force in Poland bail system. This means that when we buy beverages in plastic bottles, glass containers or cans, we will pay an additional deposit, which we will only get back if we return the empty packaging to the relevant point.
Although the deposit system aims to improve recycling and reduce waste, many consumers may find it cumbersome and expensive.
Instead of buying water in disposable bottles, you can rely on an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution - water dispensers. This is an increasingly popular solution in:
The distributors are:
The deposit system is an important step towards a circular economy, but for many people it can be cumbersome. Therefore, it is already worth considering switching to water dispensers - a solution that is environmentally friendly, cheaper in the long term and much more practical in everyday life.

In just a short while, the first bell will sound throughout Poland and pupils and teachers will begin a new school year. As is the case every year, the summer holidays have been a time of refurbishment and modernisation in many establishments - classrooms, corridors and playing fields have been prepared so that pupils can return to even better conditions for learning and developing their passions.
One element of change in schools and kindergartens is green initiatives. For many years SEGRO Poland actively supports local communities by installing in schools, community centres and sports facilities non-contact drinking water fountains. This solution is not only intended to encourage children and young people to drink water and develop healthy habits, but also to reduce the use of plastic bottles and support environmental care.
To date, five Polish cities have already installed the 156 water springswhich are used by more than 55,000 schoolchildren and young athletes. This reduces plastic consumption by 218 tonnes per yearemissions, significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.
In the past school year, more such devices appeared, among others, in the municipality of Stryków - in kindergartens, primary schools, day care centres, community centres and sports facilities, as many as 11 new distributors. This is the next stage of SEGRO's cooperation with the local municipality. Earlier, in April, the company's employees together with customers of SEGRO Logistics Park Stryków planted plants at the nearby lagoon, enriching the recreational space of the local residents.
SEGRO's initiatives are part of a programme of Responsible SEGROwhich focuses on investing in local communities and the environment. Educational events are regularly organised, such as the World Water Day event in Plewiska, where pupils from the Maria Skłodowska-Curie Primary School No. 2 were able to learn more about the importance of water in their daily lives and use two dispensers installed there.
SEGRO also supports nationwide environmental projects - for four years the company was an official partner of the action Operation Clean River. In 2024 alone, employees managed to collect 3.5 tonnes of waste in Warsaw, Poznan and Gliwice, and a total of as much as 7.5 tonnes over the life of the project.
Through such initiatives, children and young people learn that caring for health and the environment can be a daily habit. Using water sources is a simple gesture that makes a real difference in reducing plastic waste.
The new school year is not only a return to learning, but also an opportunity to make a positive difference. Projects delivered by SEGRO and local authorities show that investment in education can go hand in hand with care for the planet - and every drop matters. 🌍💧

The holiday period is not only a time of rest for students and teachers, but also an ideal time for renovations and upgrades in schools. Empty corridors and classrooms provide space for activities without disrupting the daily rhythm of learning. This is when many establishments decide to make investments that improve the comfort and quality of life for the entire school community.
One area that is gaining in importance is access to clean drinking water. As part of our education and marketing campaign to promote healthy habits and a sustainable approach to water use, many schools have decided to install modern springs and bottle filling stations. One of these is The British School Warsaw.
After consultation with our team, the school decided to install the model A171-BF12-BCD - a water station combining a classic spring with a bottle filler and a counter for the plastic bottles saved. Interestingly, an identical device had already been installed in another school building the year before.
After a site visit and an analysis of the technical possibilities, we jointly agreed on the best location for the new unit - in the main building, right next to the reception area. This is a high-traffic location that will provide easy access for both students and school staff.
The installation was carried out by our technicians, who also sanitised the previously installed spring on this occasion, ensuring its hygiene and reliable operation.
This is another example of our holistic approach: we provide not only the equipment, but also technical support, education and full involvement in the modernisation process. Thanks to such projects, schools are becoming more friendly, modern and environmentally friendly - and pupils are more likely to use water while reducing their plastic consumption.

Until a few years ago, access to free drinking water at airports was the exception in Poland. Today, thanks to increasing environmental awareness and concern for passenger comfort, the situation is changing for the better. Modern drinking water dispensers have appeared at many airports, which not only make travelling easier, but also really improve the standards of public infrastructure. And they do so in an environmentally friendly, economical and extremely practical way.
For many travellers, buying water after going through security meant spending several zlotys per bottle. To make matters worse, every such bottle was another piece of plastic going into the bin - and recycling at the airport is not always easy.
The solution? Free water from a dispenser, available right next to the gates. All you need to bring with you is an empty bottle, thermos or bidon - and many people already have these in their backpack or suitcase at all times.
You can find our drinking water stations today at airports in:
Each of these venues has chosen to install devices that not only look modern and aesthetically pleasing, but are also durable, hygienic and intuitive to use. Models such as the BF15, A171-BF11, WALL or FLAT allow bottles to be conveniently filled, and some also allow drinking directly from the dispenser - contactless and safe.
From families with children to business travellers, everyone is using the new water points. It even happens that queues form at the dispensers! The feedback is unequivocal:
Airport employees - security guards, cabin crew, ground staff or cleaning staff - also benefit from our solutions. For many of them, being able to replenish water quickly and free of charge while working is a real convenience and makes their daily duties more comfortable.
Water dispensers are not only a convenience - they are also a step towards more sustainable and responsible management of public infrastructure. Thanks to them:
It also sends a clear message to airports: we are open to change, we listen to passengers' needs and we care about the common good.
Our units are designed for high-traffic areas. They are:
Drinking water available at airports - for free and without plastic - is not just a convenience. It is a new standard that improves the quality of travel and cares for the environment. We are happy to be part of this change and provide devices that make life easier, help save money and have a real impact on the environment.
If you are flying from Warsaw, Gdansk, Katowice, Modlin or Rzeszow - don't forget to bring an empty bottle. Your health and comfort are most important to us.

Drinking water spigots and water dispensers are devices that come into direct contact with water intended for consumption. Therefore, their safety and hygiene are absolutely crucial. When choosing such devices, it is worth paying special attention to their quality, the material of construction and the certificates and approvals they have, which guarantee that the product is safe for the health of users.
Drinking water must be protected from microbiological and chemical contamination. Equipment in contact with it should therefore meet strict sanitary standards. In Poland, one of the most important documents confirming safety is the Certificate of the National Institute of Hygiene (PZH). This certification shows that the product has been tested for safety and meets sanitary requirements for contact with drinking water.
In addition, for building-mounted equipment, it is important to construction mark Bwhich certifies that the product complies with building regulations and technical standards. Having such a mark means that the device can be safely used in public and commercial areas, guaranteeing durability and resistance to mechanical and environmental factors.
Another aspect is the quality of the materials from which the sprinklers and dispensers are made. The best choice is stainless steelwhich is corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and does not release harmful substances into the water. Plastic components should be specially designed for contact with drinking water - they must be safe, certified and have antibacterial properties. This prevents the growth of bacteria and ensures the highest level of hygiene.
Good drinking water dispensers should also be designed with the needs of different users in mind. For example, it is important that they are wheelchair accessiblewhich means adequate height and easy access. Models with contactless operationwhich minimise the risk of germ transmission and are comfortable to use, especially in public areas.
Not all drinking water dispensers on the market meet all the criteria listed. The lack of appropriate certificates, poor quality materials or inappropriate design can lead to hygiene problems and, consequently, health risks. That is why it is so important to choose proven appliances, with PZH approvals and a B building mark, made of stainless steel or safe plastics, and equipped with solutions that increase users' comfort and safety.

Although we all know that water is the basis of life, surprisingly many people still do not drink enough of it. Dehydration can have serious health consequences - both short-term and long-term. It is worth looking at how a lack of adequate hydration affects different age groups and people in different professions.
In adults, dehydration often manifests itself as fatigue, headaches, impaired concentration or irritability. This is especially true in office work, where focus and mental agility are crucial. For those who work physically, such as on construction sites or in warehouses, water deficiency can lead to decreased strength, dizziness and even fainting. Drinking water regularly prevents these symptoms and has a positive effect on overall wellbeing and efficiency.
Older people are particularly vulnerable to dehydration - they often feel less thirsty and their bodies are less able to regulate water and electrolyte balance. The consequences of water deficiency can be more serious for them: from balance disorders and falls to blood pressure problems and hospitalisation. For seniors, drinking enough water should be a regular part of their daily routine.
A child's body is particularly sensitive to lack of water. Even slight dehydration can lead to concentration difficulties, hyperactivity or weakened immunity. Children often forget to drink water during the day - especially when playing or studying. It is therefore important that they have easy access to fresh drinking water both at home and at school.
Not every job has the same fluid requirements. People doing intensive physical work, in high temperatures or under stress (e.g. lifeguards, cooks, teachers) should pay particular attention to drinking water regularly. Office workers too, despite their apparent convenience, can easily neglect hydration, especially if access to water is not easy.
Fortunately, public water dispensers and drinking water dispensers are increasingly appearing in public spaces. Installed in offices, clinics, offices, schools or parks, they help everyone - regardless of age or place of work - to ensure adequate hydration throughout the day. It's a simple solution that really improves quality of life and promotes social health.
Whether we are children, adults or seniors - water is an indispensable part of a healthy lifestyle. It's worth remembering not only to hydrate regularly, but also to use publicly available water sources wherever they are available. Because health starts with small, everyday choices - such as reaching for a glass of water.
