More than a catchphrase or checkbox, sustainability is a defining pillar that Vivreau operations have been built on. At Vivreau, sustainability gets designed into every product, shapes our supply chain, and influences our daily decision making. From reducing single use plastic to energy efficient designs; from supporting sustainable builds to cleaning up our waterways, Vivreau is committed to bringing sustainability initiatives to life the best way we know how: through water. We truly believe that taking a moment to Reimagine Your Water can have a long-lasting impact on both your daily operations and the environment.

FAQs
What are sustainable water solutions for offices and commercial spaces?
Vivreau systems for offices and commercial spaces help reduce single-use plastic, lower transportation-related emissions, and improve day-to-day efficiency. Vivreau bottleless water systems provide filtered still, sparkling, and hot water from an existing water supply, making them a practical option for organizations looking for sustainable water solutions that support both environmental goals and a premium user experience.
How do sustainable water solutions support LEED and WELL certification?
Sustainable water solutions can support LEED and WELL goals by helping reduce plastic waste, improve water quality, support energy efficiency, and provide documentation for building teams. Vivreau supports LEED and WELL projects through relevant certifications, product documentation, and verification support, helping architects, designers, and facility teams integrate sustainable water solutions into healthier, more efficient spaces.
What certifications should I look for in sustainable water solutions?
When evaluating water sustainability, it is important to look for certifications related to sanitation, contaminant reduction, material safety, electrical compliance, and performance. Vivreau products carry certifications such as NSF 18, NSF 42, NSF 53, CSA B483.1, NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 & 372, and Intertek ETL and cETL listings, giving project teams confidence in water quality, safety, and compliance.
How do bottleless water systems reduce plastic waste and carbon emissions?
Bottleless water systems reduce plastic waste by replacing single-use bottles with filtered water delivered at the point of use. They can also lower carbon emissions by reducing transportation, storage, and service needs. Vivreau systems support long-term environmental impact reduction through energy-saving standby modes, remote service efficiencies, and technology such as iQ Solution, which can reduce technician visits by 25% and save up to 88 lbs of CO2 emissions for every remote fix completed.
What is Vivreau doing to reduce ocean plastic and support clean water initiatives?
Vivreau supports clean water initiatives by helping organizations reduce plastic waste at the source and by funding cleanup efforts through its partnership with 4ocean. For every water dispenser sold, Vivreau helps remove 5 lbs of plastic waste from the ocean, reinforcing its broader commitment to sustainable water solutions and environmental stewardship.
Who should choose sustainable water solutions instead of bottled water?
Sustainable water systems are ideal for offices, hospitality spaces, commercial buildings, and organizations looking to replace bottled water with a more efficient and environmentally responsible alternative. Vivreau bottleless water systems are designed for teams that want to reduce plastic waste, support sustainability targets, enhance the workplace experience, and align with green building standards such as LEED and WELL.
