We believe that to become the most sustainable water brand we need more workplaces eliminating single use packaging by serving premium flavoured water from the Aqua Libra Flavour Tap. However we also know that taps have an operational overhead that puts many workplaces off. This is why we have designed a highly connected smart device that improves the operator and customer experience. In this episode of dazed & infused I touch on some of the design, technology and innovation features that sets this hydration solution apart from the pack. In future episodes we will do a deeper dive into the tech with the Aqua Libra team and technology partners. #IoT #cloud #sustainability

Research Paper | Cranfield University New research from Cranfield University shines a spotlight on the power of circular business models.
