A policy eliminating single‑use plastic bottles from production environments
Water Bottle Ban is a sustainability policy that prohibits the procurement and distribution of single‑use plastic water bottles on set. Instead, productions issue reusable bottles and install filtration or hydration stations.
• Reusable bottles: Each crew member receives a branded stainless‑steel or glass bottle. • Hydration stations: Touchless dispensers with chilled and ambient water in high‑traffic zones. • Emergency reserves: A limited supply of biodegradable bottles for unexpected needs.
Eliminating bottled water can reduce plastic waste by thousands of units per week, lower costs through bulk water sourcing, and enhance crew morale by demonstrating environmental leadership.
• Onboarding: Include guidelines in daily call sheets and safety briefings. • Signage: Place clear instructions at craft trailers and base camps. • Monitoring: Track station usage versus prior bottled consumption to measure impact.
Some productions partner with local NGOs to reuse excess water for community events, amplifying positive outreach.
