Bottled water may feel convenient, but the resource used behind it—single-use plastic, transportation, and hidden environmental costs—is far greater than most people realize. In 2026, Greenwave aims to accelerate the shift from bottled water to purified drinking water across more industries and more everyday scenarios, so sustainability becomes something people can do—and stick with.

瓶装水看起来方便，但背后的资源消耗、一次性塑料与运输负担远比我们想象的大。2026年，Greenwave 希望把“用直饮水替代瓶装水”推进到更多行业与更多使用场景里，让环保真正变成每个人都做得到、也愿意坚持的日常。

Many environmental initiatives sound inspiring, but the ones that truly last are usually the small changes people can make every day without extra effort. Drinking water is one of them.

很多环保倡议听起来很宏大，但真正能长期坚持的，往往是那些每天都能做、并且不增加负担的改变。喝水就是其中之一。

We’re sharing this because we want to offer a clearer perspective—and help more people move from bottled water to purified drinking water. It’s not only more sustainable; it’s often simpler, more stable, and easier to manage—whether at home, or in offices, hotels, and restaurants.

我们写这篇的原因也很简单：希望用更清晰的视角，让更多人愿意把瓶装水换成直饮水。这不仅是环保，也常常是更省心、更稳定、更可控的生活方式——无论是在家里，还是在办公室、酒店与餐厅等场景。

Why It Matters

为什么替代瓶装水值得被认真对待

Most people choose bottled water for two reasons: safety and convenience. But when you look at the full chain, the trade-offs are very real. To produce one bottle of bottled water, the process typically consumes far more than the water inside the bottle—on average, nearly three additional bottles’ worth of water and roughly a quarter-bottle equivalent of oil through manufacturing, packaging, and logistics. In other words, it’s not “just one more bottle”—it’s more water, more energy, and more transport folded into a daily habit.

很多人选择瓶装水，是为了安全、方便。但从整体链路看，瓶装水带来的代价非常真实：生产 1 瓶瓶装水，除了瓶内那点水以外，平均还需要额外消耗接近 3 瓶水，以及约 1/4 瓶油这样的资源投入。也就是说，它并不是多买一瓶水这么简单，而是把更多水、更多能源、更多生产运输环节，一起打包进了你的日常消费里。

Single-use plastic is an even bigger concern. The annual scale of plastic waste created by the bottled-water industry is often compared to “building one Jin Mao Tower every year.” And that doesn’t even include the extra packaging and emissions added through transportation, warehousing, and on-demand delivery. One bottle feels small—but when it becomes a city-wide habit, the footprint becomes enormous.

更令人头疼的是一次性塑料。行业每年产生的塑料废弃物规模，常被用一个非常直观的比喻来形容：约等于每年建造一座金茂大厦。这还没算上运输、仓储、外卖配送等环节的额外包装与碳排。我们每天觉得只是一瓶，但当它变成城市里每一个人的习惯时，规模就会变得惊人。

There’s also a common misconception that bottled water automatically means better quality. In reality, bottled water doesn’t always equal higher standards, and industry oversight isn’t always consistently rigorous. On top of that, long-term dependence on bottled-water supply chains can increase pressure on groundwater resources and fragile sources such as glacial water.

另外，瓶装水也不必然代表更好的水质；行业也并非总是处于充分、严格的监管状态；同时，过度依赖瓶装水产业还会对地下水与冰川水源地造成压力。所以我们想强调的是：瓶装水的看似稳妥，并不等于更可持续、更安心的长期选择。

The good news is: replacing bottled water does not mean sacrificing experience. With a well-implemented purified drinking water setup, total drinking-water costs can drop by around 70%, while dramatically reducing single-use plastic waste. For families, it’s simply more convenient and worry-free. For businesses, it’s a more stable, controllable, and cost-efficient operational choice.

好消息是——替代并不意味着牺牲体验。用净化直饮水替代瓶装水，在合适实施的情况下，饮水成本可降低最高约70%，同时还能显著减少一次性塑料浪费。对于家庭，这是更方便、更省心；对企业与商业空间，这是更稳定、更可控、也更节省的运营选择。

That’s why Greenwave’s 2026 focus isn’t a slogan like “use less plastic.” It’s something more practical: building repeatable, real-world solutions that make it genuinely easy to replace bottled water—without adding burden.

因此，Greenwave 在2026年想推动的，并不是一句“少用塑料”的口号，而是一件更务实的事：把替代瓶装水做成一套可复制、可落地的方案——让你在不增加麻烦的前提下，真的把瓶装水换下去。

Home Life

个人与家庭：从少买一箱水开始，把直饮水变成习惯

For individuals and families, replacing bottled water doesn’t need to be complicated. The real challenge is usually not whether to get a system, but how to choose, install, and maintain it without hassle.

对个人与家庭来说，替代瓶装水并不需要复杂。真正的门槛往往不是买不买设备，而是怎么选、怎么装、怎么维护才省心。

Some people only want to solve drinking water. Others want better kitchen water, or even improvements in shower experience. Some households are long-term residents, while others stay short-term and may relocate. Some families have higher daily usage; others have limited installation space and need a more compact solution. These differences matter—and they’re exactly why buying a random unit often doesn’t work.

有的人只想解决饮用，有的人还希望改善厨房用水、洗澡体验；有的人长期居住，也有人短住且可能搬家；有的家庭人数多、用水量大，也有人空间有限、需要更紧凑的安装方式。这些差异决定了：直饮水方案不能靠随便买一台解决，而需要从生活方式出发，匹配更适合的组合。

Greenwave’s approach is simple: clarify the need first, then simplify the solution. We recommend configurations based on number of users, length of stay, space conditions, and lifestyle preferences—and we plan for the real-world details: installation, ongoing service, regular filter changes, and relocation support if needed. The goal is to make purified drinking water something you can use effortlessly every day—without thinking about it.

Greenwave 的服务逻辑一直是：先把需求讲清楚，再把方案做简单。我们会根据使用人数、居住周期、空间条件与习惯偏好，给出更适合的直饮水配置，并把安装、后续维护、滤芯更换与搬家移机等现实问题一起纳入规划，让直饮水真正成为随手可用、无需操心的日常。

Business Use

办公与商业：把替代瓶装水变成可执行的项目

Offices, hotels, restaurants, gyms, and schools often have higher expectations: more people, clear peak hours, higher demand for fast access, and sometimes multiple temperature options—hot, chilled, and multiple dispensing points. At the same time, aesthetics, traffic flow, and space constraints must be respected.

办公室、酒店、餐厅、健身房、学校等场景，对饮水的要求更高：人数多、峰值明显、对取水效率更敏感；有的场景还需要热水、冰水、多点位取水；同时，现场美观、动线与空间限制也必须考虑。

That’s why replacing bottled water in commercial settings is not about “placing a machine.” It’s about making the system run smoothly: Does the capacity match headcount and peak usage? Are dispensing points placed logically? Can the installation stay clean and professional without disrupting the environment? Is maintenance predictable and manageable? These factors determine whether bottled water can be replaced consistently, long-term.

因此，商业场景替代瓶装水，核心不是“摆一台设备”，而是“把系统跑起来”：设备能力是否匹配使用人数与峰值需求？取水点位是否合理？是否能在不影响空间风格的前提下安装得干净利落？后续维护是否可预测、可管理？这些因素决定了替代能否长期持续。

In 2026, Greenwave wants to bring this shift into more industries—and do it like a true project. We tailor solutions to the client’s scenario: configuring capacity and placement based on users and usage zones; selecting the right size for the space; and for hotels, clubs, and reception areas, offering a setup that fits the environment visually while staying practical to maintain. With long-term service planning, employees and guests actually use it—and bottled water is replaced in a stable, lasting way.

Greenwave在2026年希望推进的，是把替代瓶装水带到更多行业里，并且做得更像一个项目——按客户场景定制方案：根据使用人数与使用区域配置设备与点位布局；根据空间大小选择合适尺寸；根据酒店/会所/客户接待区等场景，提供更贴合环境的外观与安装方式；再配套长期维护，让员工与客户真正愿意使用，瓶装水才能被稳定替代。
