Sustainability
Sustainability is a beautiful dance between people and the environment, where every small action can lead to positive change. Embracing a sustainable lifestyle means evolving together with our planet, and this journey, while significant, is filled with hope and opportunity. We don’t need to overhaul our lives overnight; instead, we can take small, meaningful steps towards a brighter future. Every moment is an opportunity to make a difference, and the time to start is now.
Water, the source of all life, deserves our respect and care. It’s crucial we use it wisely and protect it from harm. Plastic, while convenient, has become a challenge we must address together. Its impact on our planet is undeniable, but change is within our grasp. Imagine a world where instead of contributing to pollution, we are part of the solution. With each person choosing alternatives to single-use plastic, we are paving the way to healthier oceans. The vision of a world where our oceans thrive with life rather than plastic is not just a dream – it’s a goal we can achieve together.
We focus on three goals:
Goal 6: We want to put accessible drinking water on the agenda.
Goal 12: We are trying to ensure a sustainable production by producing in Europe using durable and sustainable materials.
Goal 14: Our purpose is to protect the oceans from plastic waste. We want to help reach the goal of minimising the pollution from single-use plastic water bottles.
Today millions of reusable Retap Bottles are being used and they replace an even bigger amount of single-use plastic bottles.
We support goal 6, 12 and 14
Leave no one behind
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals aim to achieve a more sustainable future for every-one. The framework of these goals highlights the global need for development. The goals address the challenges related to climate change, poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, peace and justice. To reach the goals, everyone needs to act. Everybody can make small changes in their everyday life in order to make a difference.
Retap is involved in the Global Goals because we care.
A sustainable choice
Retap’s mission is to reduce the consumption of single-use plastic bottles. We believe the most sustainable way to stay hydrated is by refilling reusable drinkware with tap water – and now, with Retap Flavour, making that water more enjoyable. Whether you prefer your water pure or naturally flavoured, our solutions make it easy to reduce waste and avoid unnecessary packaging.
Durable materials – designed for reuse
Retap Drinkware is available in high-quality borosilicate glass and stainless steel – both durable, reusable materials that support a more sustainable lifestyle. Borosilicate glass is lightweight, heat-resistant and free from lead and cadmium, while stainless steel offers excellent durability for life on the go. All materials meet the highest hygienic standards and are made to last.
Glass, steel, or flavour – it’s your choice
Whether you choose a glass carafe for your home or a stainless steel bottle for your commute, Retap makes it easy to refill and reuse. And with Retap Flavour, you can enjoy a light, natural taste – with blends developed to help you drink more water. It’s a simple step towards reducing plastic waste and making hydration part of your everyday life.
No-packaging concept
The bottle is the packaging
To live and act as sustainably as possible, Retap follows a no-packaging concept. This means we typically avoid using individual packaging for our products. Instead, we provide FSC®-certified inserts (FSC-N003022) placed inside the Retap Bottle and Retap Carafe, which contain all the necessary product information. This solution helps us reduce waste associated with packaging.
In cases where single packaging is required, we ensure that all our packaging is FSC-certified, supporting the responsible management of the world’s forest resources.
Where are the Retap products made?
Retap’s main office, warehouse, and print facilities are located in Denmark, Europe. To secure a safe and fair production, the Retap Drinkware, flavours, lids, and sleeves are to the furthest extent possible, also produced in Europe. This means that Retap keeps the production nearby to save CO₂ and to keep our environmental impact at a minimum.
