Ban on single-use plastics in hospitality: the switch to in-house table water
The ban on single-use plastics is changing the rules of the game in hospitality. Where bottled water has long been the standard, there is now room for a solution that is more sustainable, more efficient, and at the same time more refined in terms of experience.
At AQUALEX, we believe this evolution is not a limitation, but an opportunity. An opportunity to put water back at the heart of your business, as an experience that perfectly aligns with the expectations of the modern guest.

What the ban on single-use plastics means for your hotel or restaurant
The ban on single-use plastics is pushing the hospitality sector to handle packaging and waste more consciously. In practice, it mainly means that, as an operator, you need to find an alternative that offers the same quality as bottled water—without its drawbacks.
In addition, single-use plastics also create extra operational costs:
- Deliveries and storage that take up space
- Continuous stock monitoring
- Growing waste streams
By switching to your own drinking water system, you break this dependency and bring more simplicity and clarity to your daily operations.
From logistical burden to a premium branding tool
Water doesn’t have to be an afterthought. On the contrary, it can become a subtle yet powerful part of your overall experience.
With your own table water concept, you transform something functional into something that contributes to your brand:
- Stylish, reusable bottles at the table
- Water that is perfectly chilled and tailored to your guest’s preferences
- A consistent, high-quality presentation
This way, the transition from single-use plastics to a sustainable drinking water system becomes not only a practical choice, but also an aesthetic and strategic upgrade for your business.
The benefits of the switch: sustainability and ROI
The strength of a good drinking water system lies in the balance between sustainability and return on investment. What starts as a response to the ban on single-use plastics grows into a structural improvement of your daily operations.
For your guests, this means consistently high-quality water, a refined and premium presentation, and a conscious choice that aligns with their expectations around sustainability.
For you as an operator, it translates into a clear reduction in long-term costs, less dependence on external suppliers, and a more efficient workflow without unnecessary tasks.
The result is a system that not only feels better, but also works better.
