Manifesto
16 billion plastic water bottles per year in France, 200 billion worldwide... and the carbon and plastic pollution that goes with them...
At Castalie, we believe that drinking should be a simple pleasure without any aftertaste, whether in a restaurant, hotel, business, or at home.
We believe that a beautiful, durable, useful object is better than a six-pack of bottles, transporting them down the street, up the stairs, and the 500 miles by truck that preceded them.
We believe that avoiding 90% of carbon emissions today is still better than one more plastic bottle, even in the recycling bin.
We believe that a simple glass of Castalie water Castalie re-enchant tomorrow.
Every day, our eco-friendly water dispensers deliver purer, microfiltered water—still or sparkling—with just the push of a button, all while helping to protect the planet. We’ve been doing this since 2011 and have prevented 500 million single-use plastic bottles from ending up in landfills. And this is just the beginning.
Castalie.
