A real change

This is what we have achieved so far together with our #TAPPheroes community.

Our goal

Driving change

At Tappwater, we believe in innovation as a driving force capable of changing our daily consumption habits and, in doing so, protecting current and future generations.

Our mission

Sustainable consumption

Disposable plastic bottles and bottled water production are harming our ecosystems, endangering marine life, and polluting the food chain.
Our mission is to create easy-to-use, sustainable, and accessible products that eliminate the need for bottled water.

Common goals for a better future

A single drop does not make an ocean, but many drops are the change we want to see

At Tappwater, we believe that one of the best ways to solve the problem of plastic pollution is to collaborate with other organizations that share our goal.

  • Plastic Oceans is a non-profit organization that aims to promote sustainable communities worldwide, acting locally to create global change through four fundamental pillars: education, activism, advocacy, and science.

  • Gravity Wave is a social impact company that cleans up seas and oceans. In collaboration with local fishermen, we help remove plastic from the Mediterranean Sea.

  • Tree-Nation is a platform for reforesting the world and fighting climate change. With it, we offset all the CO2 emissions we generate.

Our Story

Why Our Mission?

Nature, recycling and plastic health impact
Have you ever arrived at a beautiful beach, park, river, or other natural spot and found it full of plastic bottles, bags, cans, and other litter? Have you looked at your recycling bins at home, shocked by the amount of single-use plastic we use? Are you concerned about the health impact of the amount of plastic products we consume drinks and food from every day?

In 2016, over 500 billion plastic bottles were consumed worldwide, with a huge impact in terms of plastic pollution and carbon footprint. What if there was a better solution?

How Can We Help?

Rocio from Spain, Magnus from Sweden, Alex from Germany and Jeff from Luxembourg founded Tappwater in 2017 in Barcelona, Spain, with a mission to eliminate the need for bottled water. We do this by providing simple, affordable and sustainable products to homes worldwide for clean, great-tasting tap water.

What Does It Mean For You?

By using our products, you save money (over €240 per year), avoid carrying 1000 kg of water home per year, improve your health (avoid microplastics), and help reduce human impact on the planet.

How Are We Doing?

As of October 2023, our customers have avoided over 100 million plastic bottles. This is equivalent to over 400 football fields covered in plastic bottles. But this is just the beginning. Our goal is to avoid 10 billion bottles by 2027.

Global Expansion

Today, our products are available in over 50 countries directly from Tappwater and through our partners.
