Since 2011, BWT (Best Water Technology) has been a proud partner of CERN, supplying state-of-the-art water dispensers to various sites and buildings within the vast CERN complex, which spans both Switzerland and France. Our partnership with CERN is rooted in our shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and exceptional service. Today, we are pleased to report that there are over 150 BWT water dispensers installed and actively serving the CERN community.
Enhancing Hydration at CERN
Our water dispensers provide a range of hydration options to meet the diverse needs of CERN’s staff, visitors, and contractors. With the water dispenser in use, we offer cold water, ambient water, sparkling water, and even hot water. These dispensers are strategically placed throughout CERN’s numerous facilities, ensuring that hydration is always within easy reach.
CERN’s community is a dynamic and international one, with over 17,500 people from around the world working together to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge. This includes approximately 2,500 permanent staff members, as well as countless visitors and collaborators. Ensuring access to high-quality, sustainable hydration solutions is crucial in such an environment, where long hours and intense focus are the norms.
Sustainability at the Core
BWT’s partnership with CERN goes beyond providing high-quality water; it’s about embedding sustainability into everyday practices. Our water dispensers are designed to encourage the use of reusable bottles and cups. By offering easily accessible water stations, we help reduce the reliance on single-use plastic bottles, significantly cutting down on plastic waste.
The dispensers’ user-friendly design, with spouts specifically engineered to accommodate reusable bottles, further promotes this eco-friendly practice. This is particularly important at CERN, where sustainability is a core value. By choosing BWT, CERN demonstrates its commitment to environmental stewardship and the promotion of sustainable practices within the scientific community.
Technical Excellence and Reliable Service
CERN has trusted BWT not only for the quality of our products but also for our outstanding technical service. Gaining access to CERN’s premises requires authorization, reflecting the high-security environment of the world’s leading particle physics laboratory. Despite these stringent access controls, BWT’s technical team has consistently provided timely and efficient service, ensuring that all water dispensers operate at peak performance.
Our service includes regular maintenance and swift responses to any technical issues, ensuring minimal disruption to CERN’s daily operations. This reliable support has been a key factor in the long-standing relationship between BWT and CERN.
Meeting the Needs of a Diverse Community
The versatility of BWT water dispensers caters to the diverse hydration preferences of CERN’s international community. Whether someone prefers chilled water to stay refreshed during hot summer days, sparkling water for a fizzy treat, or hot water for a quick cup of tea, our dispensers deliver. This flexibility is highly appreciated in a setting as dynamic and varied as CERN.
Moreover, the availability of multiple water options in a single dispenser minimizes the need for separate machines, saving space and reducing energy consumption. This aligns perfectly with CERN’s efforts to optimize resource use and minimize its environmental footprint.
BWT’s water dispensers are more than just hydration stations; they are a testament to our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and excellent service. Our partnership with CERN highlights the importance of providing sustainable, high-quality water solutions in environments where excellence and precision are paramount.
As CERN continues to explore the frontiers of science, BWT is proud to support its mission by ensuring that the people driving these groundbreaking discoveries stay hydrated. Together, we are making strides towards a more sustainable future, one refillable bottle at a time.
