Many people do it without a second thought - finish a bottle of water, toss it in the recycling bin, and walk away feeling responsible. But here's the uncomfortable truth: the majority of plastic bottles never get recycled.
In fact, globally only around 9% of plastic waste is actually recycled. The rest? It ends up in landfills, incinerators, or worse - our oceans.
Why Most Bottles Aren't Actually Recycled
Despite good intentions, several issues stand in the way of effective plastic recycling:
The UAE's Reality Check
In the UAE, increasing efforts have been made to improve recycling infrastructure - but plastic use remains high. With scorching temperatures and a heavy reliance on bottled water, billions of bottles are used each year.
Even with best recycling practices in place, a massive proportion of those bottles never complete the recycling loop. The solution? Stop producing the waste in the first place.

Our mains-fed water dispensers deliver fresh, filtered, purified drinking water directly from your incoming water supply, eliminating the need for:
It's a closed-loop solution with no plastic, no transport emissions, and no waste.
Why Refill > Recycle
Action | Environmental Impact |
Recycle a bottle | Reduces impact, but still creates waste |
Refill a bottle | Eliminates waste from the start |
When we shift from a 'recycle it later' mindset to a 'don't use it at all' one, we create meaningful change. Refill culture - supported by smart, sustainable infrastructure - is how we get there.
What You Can Do
Whether you're running a business, a school, a gym, or simply want to reduce our own footprint, here's how to take action:
Every refill is a bottle that never needed to be produced, shipped, or questioned.
Recycling is part of the solution - but it's not the solution.
By eliminating plastic bottles from the equation altogether, we take the guesswork out of sustainability and move towards a future where clean drinking water doesn't cost the earth.
