Guide for schools: Fewer plastic packaging through smart water dispensers
More and more schools want to operate more sustainably, yet disposable bottles are still commonly found in playgrounds. How do you break that habit without asking extra effort from students?
The key lies in simplicity and appeal. When water is readily available, the sustainable choice automatically becomes the easiest one. Students quickly refill their bottles, drink water more often, and no longer need disposable bottles. This way, you not only reduce waste but also encourage a healthier daily habit.

Why schools choose to reduce plastic packaging
As a school, you play an important role in teaching healthy and sustainable habits. By consciously focusing on reducing plastic packaging, you send a strong signal to both students and parents.
The benefits are immediately visible:
- Less waste in the playground thanks to the disappearance of disposable bottles
- More reuse as refillable bottles become the norm
- A strong, future-oriented image as a sustainable school
But the impact goes beyond environmental benefits alone. It also makes a real difference for students:
- Better concentration and focus thanks to proper hydration
- More energy throughout the school day
- Support for overall health
This way, you combine sustainability with direct added value in the classroom.
The measurable impact of AQUALEX on the school campus
More and more schools encourage the use of reusable drinking bottles, but in practice, water is not always easily accessible. As a result, students often turn to disposable packaging or simply drink less water during the day.
This is where a major opportunity lies: when water is visible and easily accessible, it actually gets consumed. Students spontaneously refill their bottles, drink more often, and make a more sustainable choice without even thinking about it.
The ALASQ MURO offers the ideal solution. This wall-mounted water dispenser combines a compact design with maximum accessibility, making it perfect for high-traffic areas such as playgrounds and hallways. Thanks to its robust finish and ease of use, it is fully suited for intensive daily use. Moreover, the ALASQ MURO can be customized to seamlessly match your school’s look and feel.
Smart water dispensers: where technology meets hygiene
A strong drinking water solution goes beyond design and placement. Ease of use for students is key.
Traditional drinking fountains often fall short in terms of hygiene and comfort. AQUALEX water dispensers stand out by combining technology, safety, and user-friendliness.
With a simple hand movement, fresh, chilled, and filtered water is instantly available.

The question “how do we eliminate disposable bottles from the playground?” doesn’t have to be complex.

By choosing AQUALEX:
- You structurally reduce plastic waste
