Culligan’s role in the reuse movement

As a global leader in water solutions, Culligan has long been committed to reducing plastic waste through innovative refillable water solutions for homes and businesses.

Our partnership with Refill, an award-winning campaign by City to Sea, has already made a significant impact by increasing access to water refill stations across public spaces, leisure and the hospitality sector. With 300,000 Refill stations offering refills for water, coffee, food containers and plastic-free shopping, Refill has helped avoid the use of 100 million pieces of plastic to date.

At the summit, our team engaged in thought-provoking discussions on the future of reuse and refill systems, sharing our expertise in implementing sustainable hydration solutions and learning from other pioneers in the movement.
