One refill bottle saves the day, a thousand saves the planet
The refill bottle today is the symbol of those who want to protect the environment and not plunder it, it is a different way of living and a gesture of attention, care and awareness. It is a tangible and concrete sign that you pass from hand to hand, that you always carry it with you, that you do not throw it away and do not abandon it, to say out loud that resources are not unlimited, that I care about the place where I live and that I want a better world, for me and for the generations to come.
This is how the #lamiaborraccia project and the BWT Bottle Award were born: not just an award, but an online contest, an exhibition and an awareness campaign.
The refill bottle is an object that has always accompanied our lives. Invented in 1860, then made of wood, it has changed over time, but not in its purpose: to conserve water and protect our planet.
BWT - Best Water Technology - leading water treatment group - has always been committed to sustainability and the responsible use of resources. Its contribution consists in the development of sustainable products and services in respect of resources, in order to treat the water available on site and supply it in the best possible quality.
A contribution that passes through the creation of Bottle Free Zones: whether at home, in the office, at the restaurant, it is possible to drink water in a sustainable way. At 0 km, without the use of disposable plastic bottles, drastically reducing transport and CO2 emissions.
The #lamiaborraccia project aims to tell the story of a symbolic object and its link with such a precious resource as water. From the war relics of the Winter Line Museum, to the sporting feats of cyclists and climbers, to GioStyle's vintage line, to the design object created by Palomar, to the Pope's refill bottle.
An object with a thousand possibilities, colours and materials, but which inside has always contained our elixir of life: water.
Phil the bottle – The analog (drinking water) App
On the back of each bottle there is a list of the city’s drinking fountain locations, where it can be filled; these available sources of drinking water, which is safe because it is highly monitored, are listed one by one with easy to find addresses. No more bottles, just Phil!

Holy See - A world created as a gift
One of the themes dearest to Pope Francis is that of integral ecology. Already in the Encyclical "Laudato si", on the care of the common home, he reiterates the "tremendous responsibility" of human beings towards Creation and recalls that "the environment is a collective gift, the heritage of all humanity". The Pope does not tire of pointing out that our earth, mistreated and plundered, requires an "ecological conversion" by adopting different production models, based on reuse, recycling and limited use of non-renewable resources.
An environmental conversion is needed and is possible through the promotion of a true ecological education that creates, especially in young people, an awareness and therefore a renewed consciousness (Pope Francis, Our Mother Earth, LEV 2019): We live in "a world created as a gift" and we must care for it, protect it.
Hence, on the occasion of the Synod on Amazonia, the idea of the water bottle created by the Holy See's Dicastery for Communication was born in October 2019 - a small gesture to counter that "culture of discarding" that risks transforming the earth, "our home, into an immense deposit of rubbish".

Hydria for the Planet
The project was born in Rome in 2020 by Diego Cosmo, a young entrepreneur, and Manuela Staffieri, a biologist specialising in nutrition.
The idea was born in 2018 in response to one of the main problems affecting the whole Planet: pollution, caused by natural phenomena but, above all, by man's activity through the inconsiderate use of plastic.
"Our aim is to spread a message of positive change for people, encouraging them to live a more sustainable life".
Hence the need to offer and produce eco-friendly products for everyday use, replacing disposable ones once and for all.

100,000 water bottles for Milan students
With the start of the school year, students in primary schools (60,000) and secondary schools (40,000) received a gift of an aluminium water bottle to replace disposable plastic bottles.
From the very first years of school, the aim is to involve children and young people in a #plasticfree future and to show how they too can make a concrete and immediate contribution to protecting the environment.
This initiative is an opportunity to promote the use of water from our aqueduct, which is among the best and most economical in the country.
A2A, MM and Milano Ristorazione have collaborated in the realisation of this initiative.

Closca Design
The Closca Bottle Wave was born out of the need to reduce the amount of single-use plastic that is used every day and shift the focus to reusable material.
The situation is dramatic: 1 million plastic bottles are consumed every minute, of which only 9% are recycled.
We at Closca believe that our actions, however small, have a bigger impact on the planet than we think.
impact on the planet than we think. Our idea is to change the way we consume and drink water. Because to change the world, we need to change our habits first.
The Closca Bottle Wave - Places to Be collection is an ode to the planet. The colours of the bottles are inspired by the main climate problems our planet is facing: global warming, deforestation, melting glaciers and desertification of the planet.
