In compliance with the Green EUI strategy, the REFS committed to implement a sustainable and cost effective drinking water provision: the objective is to reduce the usage of bottled water, that proofed to be costly and environmentally unfriendly (according to official statistics, only 1 in 4 plastic bottles is recycled).
In light of the above, the REF decided to encourage the use of tap water by installing free-standing water dispensers in all canteen facilities at the EUI, accessible free of charge to the entire EUI community 24h 7 days a week.
Free water dispensers are located in the canteen areas of the following buildings:
- Badia Fiesolana
- Villa Schifanoia
- Villa la Fonte
- Villa Salviati
This will allow EUI members to benefit from a permanent drinking water supply by using their own refillable bottles.
