CASE STUDY: SUCCESS FOR VIVREAU AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD
Vivreau specialise in quality drinking water products. As pioneers of the Table Water Bottling System, they recently installed their mains-fed drinking water system at Sheffield University.
The Department of Accommodation and Commercial Services (ACS) at the University of Sheffield had been providing bottled water for its guests attending conferences, meetings and events in their conference with US venues, but was seeking a green alternative to help minimise its impact on the environment and reduce waste.
ACS teamed up with Vivreau having discovered the sustainable benefits of the Table Water Bottling System. A mains-fed drinking water system dispensing unlimited quantities of filtered, chilled, still and sparkling water at the point of source and can be served in reusable designer glass bottles.
Jacqui Cameron, Head of Marketing at ACS explains: “As part of our brand values, we’re committed to using local, ethically-sourced and environmentally-friendly products wherever possible. Using the Vivreau system meant that we didn’t have to transport pre-bottled mineral water, which has helped us reduce our carbon footprint.”
“The water is purified on-site, so we’ve not compromised on quality and, because the bottles are reusable, there’s no waste and no need to recycle.”
When ACS began looking at different options for supplying water to its conference delegates, they contacted Vivreau’s sales team who provided a comprehensive demonstration of their in-house water bottling system and carried out a survey to ensure that the system was suitable. ACS has a diverse

portfolio of venues and the water system needed to be able to fill a large number of bottles in a short space of time. Vivreau’s V3-101 provided the ideal solution as it can filter 108 750ml bottles of water in just 30 minutes.
Vivreau’s designer glass bottles, also manufactured in the UK, are fully reusable and entirely dishwasher safe. These sleek and stylish bottles can be branded and different bottle designs can be chosen to suit a particular décor scheme. Available in 750ml and 425ml sizes, the latter is favoured for optimum eco-friendliness where water wastage can also be reduced.
“VIVREAU’S V3-101 PROVIDED THE IDEAL SOLUTION AS IT CAN
FILTER 108 750ML BOTTLES OF WATER IN JUST 30 MINUTES.”
Vivreau and ACS worked together to develop a bespoke bottle design, which incorporated the University’s crest and the logo of conference with US’s parent brand ‘withUS’. The distinct bottles emphasise the University’s commitment to providing environmentally-friendly options to its customers and help reinforce the withUS brand identity.
Debbie Tilbrook, Events Operations Manager for ACS stated: “I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vivreau to others; it has a positive impact for us, our customers and the environment.”
