Life Solutions: Low Waste & Energy Saving
Driving Corporate ESG Water-Saving Goals
Introduction
The theme for China’s 2026 World Environment Day (June 5) is Comprehensive Green Transition, Building a Beautiful China Together. The global theme focuses on climate action, calling on all sectors of society to adopt green production and lifestyles. Against this backdrop, corporate ESG development has evolved from an optional bonus to an essential requirement.
Many enterprises have rolled out initiatives such as photovoltaic rooftops, green supply chains and recyclable packaging for production operations. However, office water usage is often overlooked. Carbon emissions from bottled water delivery, excessive wastewater generated by traditional water purifiers, and accumulated single-use plastic bottles leave hidden environmental footprints that cannot be ignored in ESG reports.
Specializing in direct drinking water solutions, Life Solutions delivers low-waste and energy-efficient water purification systems. With a simple glass of water, we help enterprises achieve three core goals: water conservation, plastic reduction and carbon reduction, and translate ESG objectives into quantifiable environmental data.
01. The Hidden ESG Cost

When compiling ESG data, most companies pay close attention to production water consumption and industrial wastewater, yet neglect drinking water for office staff. In fact, daily drinking water use brings three major costs closely linked to key ESG indicators.
01. Excessive Wastewater
Traditional reverse osmosis water purifiers discharge 1 to 2 litres of concentrated water for every 1 litre of purified water produced. For an enterprise with 100 employees, tens of tons of water are wasted on office drinking water alone each year. Such inefficient water use will negatively impact corporate water resource performance under ESG frameworks.
02. High Carbon Emissions
Every stage of barreled water transportation from factories to office buildings generates carbon emissions. Conventional water dispensers operate on standby mode around the clock and reheat water repeatedly, resulting in considerable daily power consumption. These scattered indirect carbon emissions from offices are often difficult to calculate but are undeniably part of a company’s carbon footprint.
03. Excessive Plastic Waste
Although PC water barrels for barreled water are reusable, their transportation, cleaning and disinfection consume resources. Aging barrels eventually turn into plastic waste. In addition, single-use plastic bottles widely adopted for meetings and receptacles have a low recycling rate, and most end up in landfills.
The root cause of these neglected issues is the lack of independent metering. Life Solutions turns these problems into recordable, traceable and optimizable data.
02. Low Waste, Low Energy Consumption & Plastic Reduction

Our Billi series water purification systems excel in filter configuration, heating technology, wastewater control and standby power consumption, fully embedding water conservation, energy efficiency and plastic reduction into product specifications.
Low Wastewater
Billi Quadra, Quadra Plus and Eco models have been awarded the Global Green Tag Gold Rating, a certification recognized across more than 70 countries that requires full disclosure of product ingredients and manufacturing processes. Unlike conventional equipment, our systems produce no extra concentrated water, greatly cutting down water waste.
Low Energy Consumption
Equipped with instant heating and heat recovery technology, the system only heats water on demand, with a standby power of merely 0.5W. Based on industry data and comprehensive calculations, compared with the combination of barreled water and electric kettles, one unit installed in an office of 50 people can reduce approximately 300 kilograms of carbon emissions annually.
Plastic Reduction
Barreled and single-use bottled water bring massive plastic waste and extra carbon emissions from logistics. Life Solutions systems connect directly to municipal tap water. Water is purified on-site via multi-stage filtration and dispensed hot or cold on demand. This drastically cuts the use of single-use plastic bottles and provides a practical approach for enterprises to fulfill their plastic reduction commitments under ESG requirements.
03. Data Directly Applicable to ESG Reports
Our water purification systems provide three sets of core data for corporate ESG reports.

01. Annual Water Consumption
Selected models feature near-zero wastewater operation. By recording the incoming water flow, enterprises can obtain accurate annual water consumption data effortlessly.
02. Annual Power Consumption & Carbon Emission Reduction
With a standby power of 0.5W and support for multi-period power-saving modes, the system’s annual power usage can be read directly from electricity meters. Combined with the carbon emission factor of the local power grid, the exact volume of carbon reduction can be calculated.
03. Plastic Waste Reduction
For a 50-person enterprise, adopting our solutions can cut the use of around 600 pieces of 19L PC water barrels every year. Fewer barrels mean reduced delivery trips, as well as less work for barrel cleaning and disinfection. The data on plastic reduction is clear and verifiable.
04. ESG: From Operational Cost to Core Competitiveness

Each year around World Environment Day, numerous enterprises release ESG reports and advance green transformation. Guided by the 2026 theme of Comprehensive Green Transition, Building a Beautiful China Together, businesses are encouraged to embrace sustainable production and lifestyles. As proven by Life Solutions’ practices, even office drinking water can become a highlight of corporate ESG performance.
Deploying our water-saving and energy-efficient water solutions brings tangible benefits in operational costs, brand image and compliant development. Enterprises can slash drinking water expenses, and obtain credible data on water use, energy consumption and plastic reduction for ESG reports. An office environment with low energy use and low emissions also serves as an advantage for talent attraction.
As World Environment Day approaches, Life Solutions offers end-to-end services including water quality testing, equipment selection, installation and maintenance. Starting with every glass of water, we work with enterprises to deliver solid and long-term low-carbon actions. Every set of data is fully verifiable, and every effort contributes to tangible long-term environmental and social value.
